Do you know when this last worked?
Hello. I don't when/if it worked last, actually. I'm pretty sure I've made this work in the past, but I'm not sure if was on my intel machine [on which I've had pretty much each of the RH versions, over time] or on a solaris box that I used before switching to RH. Since it's such a simple test-case, one might hope for help from some of the Tex/LaTeX discussion groups, but I figured that you folks at RH would have a special interest in getting this to work, since having a solid LaTeX, combining all the various components, is something that one disto can offer over another. [Note: the test works perfectly in my friend's debian box.] Let me know if I can help. I did a _lot_ of web surfing to try to find an answer, but I didn't turn up much that made sense to me. Dan.
Okay, which version of Debian does your friend have? (If I can compare a working teTeX with a broken one I stand a better chance of fixing it.)
Sorry, the person who told me that it worked on debian is taking some time off and cannot be reached. (A new baby arrived!). However, I found the email, and have pasted the guts of it below. It _might_ help. If not, I probably can't do much more investigation on the debian end. You folks must have a box with Debian on it, to check for these sorts of issues, right? :-) OK, jokes aside, the below is what my friend sent, from a Debian box: $ latex caro.tex This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) (caro.tex LaTeX2e <1999/12/01> patch level 1 Babel <v3.6Z> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, n ohyphenation, loaded.

Okay, it's a newer dvipsk (5.86d vs 5.86). Perhaps it's that.
(I can't even get this to work with TeXLive..)
A suggested work-around: use \usepackage{amsfonts} instead of \usepackage{mathtime}
