Hi Robert,

I'm guessing you're building on a Debian-based host distro. Please 
ensure both the groff and groff-base packages are installed.

We just recently fixed our Quick Start guide to include the groff 
package dependency for Debian-based hosts, but it appears it hasn't been 
pushed out to our production web site yet.
