Hi, I updated by cygwin and now man doesn't seem to work. I tried man -d ld and then typed the display commands by hand, removing the "2>/dev/null" It appears the problem is this: $ /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc groff: can't find `DESC' file groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii' based on man debug output: will try to write /var/cache/man/cat1/ls.1.bz2 if needed status from is_newer() = -2 using default preprocessor sequence found tbl(1) directive man: not executing command: (cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /usr/bin/gunzip -c '/usr/share/man/ man1/ls.1.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nro ff -c -mandoc 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/less -isrR) All I was able to find on google was some stuff going back to 1999 and I didn't immediately find a configuration or other file for nroff. What should I do? Thanks.
