Hi,

Installed TeX in BL2: installpkg tex_bin.tgz and tetex.tgz from Slack 7.1.

Next, tried to compile a file (test.tex): tex test.

TeX not found. Changed to the directory where the binaries are: 
/usr/share/texmf/bin.

Now, tex runs fine and test.dvi is created.

Next, tried to convert test.dvi to test.ps using dvips, also from 
/usr/share/texmf/bin.

About a thousend of error messages appear on the screen, most of them 
saying fonts not found, or errors while trying to create them. 

I thought that the fonts were in tex_bin.tgz/tetex.tgz. Installing
gsfonts.tgz did not solve the problem. 

Anyone succesfully using TeX in BL2? 

Kind regards, Nomdo
