[Groff] problem with texi2pdf groff.texinfo

[Joerg van den Hoff]

hi,

I tried to recreate a new pdf-version of the manual with

texi2pdf groff.texinfo

for the 1.19.2 release. I get (sorry for this...):

===========================CUT===================================
sed: 2: "s/\(^\|.* \)@documenten ...": whitespace after branch
sed: 4: "s/\(^\|.* \)@documenten ...": whitespace after label
sed: 6: "s/\(^\|.* \)@documenten ...": undefined label 'found 
                                     '

this is under MacOS 10.4.6.

since one of the reasons I'm using groff is, that I don't want to learn 
TeX, I don't know what is going on. any ideas?

PS: oh, and by the way. how do the maintainers feel about simply 
including the pdf-version in the ./doc dir, just in case (or provide it 
as a link on the home page: maybe this even could lower the "let's try 
it" threshold for newcomers. with a reasonable fast pdf-viewer including 
a text search facility the pdf-file is something like a very large 
manpage -- and people like me still like manpages better than info files 
-- but that discussion was on the list already, I know)
