Hi all,

I was trying to compile gschem on a system that didn't have groff 
installed.

./configure did not quit and at the end generated all files, so I didn't 
notice it'd be a problem. When make reached gschem/, it stopped with an 
error that groff was not installed.

I installed groff and rerun make but it kept on failing until I reran 
./configure.

I think if groff is essential for making gschem and change in groff 
installation requires a rerunning ./configure, then a missing groff 
should be a fatal error during configuration. Else we could just notice 
the user that some documentation couldn't be compiled and go on compiling 
the rest.


Regards,

Igor2
