23 1) Those lines aren't the correct format for make.conf. Normally, you'd
24 use something like:
25 VARIABLE="value"
26
27 2) NROFF isn't a valid make.conf variable. See the make.conf(5) manpage
28 for a list of valid make.conf variables.

30 I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but I think it's more
31 likely controlled by an nroff USE flag or configuration file than a
32 portage configuration files.
