Do you know when this last worked?

Comment 3 Dan Kelley 2001-08-03 17:06:21 UTC
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.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2001-08-03 22:59:46 UTC
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.)

Comment 5 Dan Kelley 2001-08-07 20:17:34 UTC
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:

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2001-08-08 11:43:40 UTC
Okay, it's a newer dvipsk (5.86d vs 5.86).  Perhaps it's that.

Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2001-11-08 11:25:05 UTC
(I can't even get this to work with TeXLive..)


Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2001-11-10 17:42:05 UTC
A suggested work-around: use

\usepackage{amsfonts}

instead of

\usepackage{mathtime}
