Can you send me a copy of them. I don't need the whole Handbook, so do
something like:
cd ......../handbook
make -i CHAPTERS=install FORMATS=ps\ pdf
which will generate book.{ps,pdf} with just the install chapter.
Also, can you tar up a few of the .eps files from the install/
directory, and send them to me. I want to compare them with what my
system generates.

I've looked at the stuff you sent in private mail.

How did you customise it? I'm a TeX neophyte, so use small words (or
better yet, step by step instructions) :-)
I've looked through the package version output, and the things that
jumped out at me were:
. You're using the AFPL Ghostscript, Bruce and I are using the GNU
one. I've removed the GNU one from my system and replaced it with
with the AFPL one, but that doesn't have any effect.
. You don't have the netpbm libs registered in the package database.
These are a dependency of (amongst other things) peps. I have
the netpbm-9.25_1 installed from the ports tree. What version do
you have? Since peps is used to generate the images that are
causing the problems I suspect that we have an issue there.
. You don't have jadetex registered in the package database. I
assume this is part of the TeTeX customisation, yes?
Thanks,
N
