1. report the error to your Linux vendor: this indicates a broken groff
   installation

2. type "make" again - it should work.  if it does not, type "touch
   clisp.dvi" and then "make".  you will not have the DVI version of the
   manual, but you probably do not need it anyway (you have the standard
   "man" and html versions anyway)
