I got exactly that same message when I accidently mistyped the -Tascii.
I had tried it as -Ttty or something (you can see I'm new to this troff
stuff). I think it means your -T option isn't supported.
Remember you have to either have it installed in /usr/local or set the
environment variables so it can find the files (see src/README.NT).
