Sure enough, gxditview from groff-1.06 fails to install under Openwin 2, even with the 
X11R4 widget libraries.
Not sure where it/I went wrong.
Here's my procedure & the errors for your amusement.

Also, it would be nice if one could do 'configure --prefix' for gxditview.

# groff (for Postscript output from troff sources)
cd $dir
zcat groff-1.06.tar.Z | tar xvf -
cd groff-1.06
configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu
make all
make install
if (0) then
    # optional- for X previewer
    cd xditview
    if (! -f Imakefile.orig) cp Imakefile Imakefile.orig
    sed -e 's,GROFF_LIBDIR.=./usr/local/lib/groff,GROFF_LIBDIR = /usr/local/gnu/lib/groff,' \
