groff and gcc

ianneub · 2003-09-04 00:03:05

I just installed a new Arch system I'm testing to be a server. I guess to install man pages you need groff, which needs gcc. How come groff needs gcc? I'd like to build a server without gcc on it, but having man pages around is a nice touch.

Thanks!

Because it links to a library owned by gcc.

[jvinet@saturn admin]$ ldd /usr/bin/groff
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x4001e000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400d5000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x400f7000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400ff000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
