On Solaris, you have to use `-mgs' instead of `-ms'.

The same cause -- groff uses the man package from Solaris which won't
work; groff's man macros are called with -mgan, I believe.

>From the PROBLEMS file:

  * groff produces wrapper macros for `ms' and friends which call the
    system's original macros.  Then, to get groff's ms macro package I
    have to use `-mgs' instead `-ms'.  Can I avoid this?

  Yes.  Configure and compile groff as usual, but install it with

    make install tmac_wrap=""

  Then no wrapper files are produced, and `-ms' will use groff's `ms' 
  macros.
