You might try version 1.19 from

  ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff

For some reason the generated defs.h file seems to be broken.  Here
how it typically looks like:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

#define PROG_PREFIX ""
#define DEVICE "ps"
#define BINPATH "/usr/local/bin"
#define FONTPATH 
"/usr/local/share/groff/site-font:/usr/local/share/groff/1.19.1/font:/usr/lib/font"
#define MACROPATH 
"/usr/local/lib/groff/site-tmac:/usr/local/share/groff/site-tmac:/usr/local/share/groff/1.19.1/tmac"
#define INDEX_SUFFIX ".i"
#define COMMON_WORDS_FILE "/usr/local/share/groff/1.19.1/eign"
#define DEFAULT_INDEX_DIR "/usr/dict/papers"
#define DEFAULT_INDEX_NAME "Ind"
#define DEFAULT_INDEX "/usr/dict/papers/Ind"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please check whether the gendef.sh script produces correct results.
Perhaps you can find the reason of failure.
