I don't get any error message if I call it with

  groff -ww -e -mm math1.mm > math1.ps

It works also with -Tdvi, giving no error message, but the results are
ugly (presumably because groff's mm macros don't work well with -Tdvi).

Please be more specific.  BTW, the wrapper files are *not* installed
in /usr/local/share/groff/site-tmac by default but in
/usr/local/lib/groff/site-tmac since they are platform-dependent data.

This was an error and is now fixed in the CVS.  Thanks for the report.
