update :

I've tried compiling the "current" "stable" groff sources (1.19.1 i think) available @ ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/software/groff, and ./configure, make and make install go perfectly well, but a man anything gives me an unformated man page (see the post up for the usagde of groff), and emerge -s groff gives me the lastest version as 1.18.1-r3, and none installed.

./configure + make && make install not suffiscient to install a program under gentoo linux ?

If you have an idea, as dumb as it can be, plz tell me, it could be that ;-)

I solved it myself (proud :wink:

), this way :

I've checked all the installalion files ta could have code in it, like /usr/sbin/edbuild.sh

And I found /var/tmp/portage/groff-1.18.1-r3/buildpkg/groff-1.18.1-r3.ebuild (I think), and in it, the call to xmkmf program.

this one is located in /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf (or something like that), which means that emerge sys-apps/groff fails because of some X packages not installed

then put some '-' before X in USE=" ... " of /etc/make.conf, etc-update (to be sure), and re-emerging system

Everything fine

removing '-' from make.conf, etc-update again, and emerge -p system : nothing left :-)
