- Sigh,
-
- I just spent most of the afternoon downloading tex.tar.Z
- from wuarchive.
-
- to TeX something (OK for this part). When I tried to dvips
- the output bad things happened.
-
- 1) I get a warning that a shared library cannot be found.
- "loadshlibs: lib /usr/local/shlib/libX11_s.5.01 not found "
-
- 2) dvips can't find the ".300pk" version of fonts.
-
- 3) there are *NO* instructions on how to setup the system
- (ie are there ENV variables that need to be set?)
-
- ********************************************************
- I manually tryed to run mf and cmmf, these are the two
- programs that are evidently linked to the shared library,
- there maybe more.
- they immediately croak.(there may be more...)
- here is the output of the dvips program.
-

-
- I set TEXFONTS to point to the fonts directory in the distribution
- (thats how we do it on our machine at school.)
-
- Does the "mf" program make the *.300pk files on the fly.
- Is there a workaround to the missing shared library?
-
- Does the dvips program have any documention? (will it
- rotate pages for example).
