Seems X devel files are needed for that. I'm going to fix it.
Comment 2 Christopher Yeleighton 2011-04-22 17:03:19 UTC
Factory groff-1.20.1-182.1 does not suffer from it.
Comment 3 Michal Vyskocil 2011-04-28 12:41:19 UTC
Yes, I know - I try to fix all others groff issues in one commit, so please be patient.
Comment 4 Michal Vyskocil 2011-04-28 14:49:49 UTC
The problem has been fixed in M17N[1] groff by commit 12 [2]. There's new groff-xdev package built from gxditview.spec to avoid bootstrapping issues, which installs missing devX files. Feel free to test it before I'll submit it to Factory from M17N [1].

I was unable to find groff-xdev in M17N.
Comment 6 Michal Vyskocil 2011-05-02 14:37:32 UTC
sorry, the correct name is groff-devx

Comment 7 Michal Vyskocil 2011-06-06 11:09:20 UTC
Submitted into openSUSE:Factory by request 72760 - I assume you can use the version from M17N, so no maintenance update is requested, thus closing.
