Hi,

I hope someone can offer some insight to the problem I have.

I have 2 mdk8.1 machines, 1 always gives errors when i type "man gcc" 
unless i type "LANG=en" first. The other works fine, i can not find any 
differences, this is the error:

$ man gcc
/usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
/usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `nippon'

I get this on the bottom of the screen, until i press Q.

lines ?-?/? (END)

Anyone else encounted this problem?  Its strange it works fine on one 
machine and not on the other, even though they have the same config IMO.

Regards

JG
