It looks like, when groff was configured, it could not locate a Ghostscript interpreter program on the system. Did you build groff from source yourself? If so, the configure script emits a warning banner advising that certain groff functionality will not be available. That includes the "grohtml" output driver, unfortunately. Here's the relevant part of the Autoconf macro: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/m4/groff.m4?h=1.23.0#n529 > I suspect I have some missing dependency, but looking it up I cannot > seem to find it.

Also, what does "groff --version" report? Regards, Branden
