Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-04-23 11:33:23 UTC

Description of problem:
------------------------
The TeX's dviljk binary translates the given typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file -- DVIFILE to Hewlett-Packard Printer Command
Language (PCL) by calling dvicopy, and then dvilj* (dvilj4 by default).

But the required /usr/bin/dvilj4 binary is missing in tetex 
package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------
tetex-3.0-33.8.el5.*

How reproducible:
-----------------
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Try to translate some DVI file into Hewlett-Packard's PCL:
cp /usr/share/texmf/doc/programs/dvips.dvi /tmp
2. Run "dvihp" on it
  
Actual results:
---------------

dvihp -v -o dvips.pcl dvips.dvi 
Running dvicopy dvips.dvi >/dvihp.DX4957/dvi4956.vf
This is DVIcopy, Version 1.5 (Web2C 7.5.4)

/usr/bin/dvihp: line 125: dvilj4: command not found

Expected results:
-----------------
File dvips.pcl successfully generated.

I'm sorry but this issue won't be addressed in RHEL5, as it is now in late stage of development cycle and only critical fixes are accepted. Closing as WONTFIX.
