hi,with the last Mac OS upgrade groff 1.18.1 was installed as part of the distribution. this binary does not work properly: for instance standard documents like the pic-manual are not formatted properly in some places (at the same time "can't break line" warnings are issued here and these passages contain only one word per line in the formatted output).
the PROBLEMS file contains a remark to use "configure CXX=g++2 " to remove some unspecified problems under MacOS X. this indeed generates a binary for ( a source download of) 1.19 with does work ok (without this flag behaviour ist the same as for 1.18.1).
question: can apple be 'officially' notified that they compile groff incorrectly at the moment?
regards joerg
