After consulting the Solaris 10 xpg4(5) man page, I've queued up the following item for the "PROBLEMS" file in the source distribution. ---snip--- * Tests fail when I run "make check" on Solaris 10. The test suite expects a POSIX-conformant shell and utilities. Solaris 10 does not offer these in the default $PATH. We try to use features standardized no later than POSIX Issue 4 (1994). Unfortunately even that is too recent for some implementations. Solaris 11 is believed to have a conforming shell. It may help to ensure that "/usr/xpg6/bin" and/or "/usr/xpg4/bin" precedes "/bin" and "/usr/bin/" in the $PATH when building groff. ---end snip--- Can you update your $PATH, re-run "make check", and let me know if that changes your result? I don't have any concrete reason to believe that re-running the entire build with an updated $PATH would make a difference, but if you want to try that as well, I'd appreciate knowing the outcome.
