problems with groff

[Forrest Aldrich]

Why would this be happening, and how can I fix this - the man subsystem 
hasn't been working because of this for a while.  This is 
FreeBSD-4.9-Prerelease:

# gdb man man
GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD)
This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd"...(no debugging symbols 
found)...

/usr/share/tmac/man: No such file or directory.

And when I go to run a manpage, I sometimes get this error:

# man troff
Formatting page, please wait...troff: fatal error: can't find macro file 
tty-char
Done.

But clearly tty-char is in:

# ls -l /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  5102 Sep 10 11:16 /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac


This can't be that difficult to fix... where is the problem?  Installing 
again from /usr/src doesn't make any different here, so I wonder if it's a 
config issue?
