I did the bootstrapping as described and then 'make dist' to generate a 
groff-1.22.2.tar.gz.
I expanded this file at some other place, went into the new groff-1.22.2
directory and typed 
        ./configure --prefix=/home/<user>/groff_test
        make
        make install

Now whe I type 'groff_test/bin/groff -v

I get :
GNU groff version 1.22.2
Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
 .
 .
called subprograms:

groff_test/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff_test/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ps'

However, 
  ls -l groff_test/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps/DESC
gives me
  -rw-r--r-- 1 privat privat 189 Sep 24 22:12 
groff_test/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps/DESC

Probably I did something utterly silly, but no idea what.

Please help a poor struggler!
