- Oh dear...
-
- Just on the eve I have to hand in a major project, I discover
- to my epic chagrin that the groff I have can't make PostScript
- files. I'm trying to view/print the man page I just wrote to
- accompany the software I wrote beforehand. Here's my command
- line:
-
- $ groff -Tps -man lc.1 > lc.ps
-
- Here's what it says:
-
- gtroff: can't open `DESC'
- gtroff: fatal error: sorry, I can't continue
-
- So I look in /usr/lib/groff/font for DESCs and all I see are:
-
- ./ ../ devascii/ devdvi/ devlatin1/
-
- ...each one of which has a DESC subdir...
-
- This is very unfortunate. Can anyone assist in finding the
- /devps/DESC's?
-
-
- Thanks tons,
-
