Description hp4 2011-11-21 19:20:43 UTC
Description of problem:
texlive 2007 as contained in Fedora16 is not usable, since it crashes on every invocation with memory exhaustion. Therefore I installed texlive2011 from Fedora16/rawhide. In this version old plain-tex-documents cannot be generated, since file epsf.tex for embedding graphics is missing. Using xepsf.tex seems to be incompatible, since it places every picture on a separate page. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texlive 2011 from Fedora16/rawhide.

How reproducible:
uninstall normal texlive2007 in Fedora16 and install texlkive2011 by using normal package management and using package from Fedora16/rawhide

Steps to Reproduce:
1.call tex with any existing plain-tex file, which contains eps-graphics
2.missing epsf.tex isreported
3.replacing epsf.tex by xepsf.tex produces bad layouts (every picture on separate page)
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
old plain-tex files should compile with epsf.tex as in many other distributions

yum install 'tex(epsf.tex)' reveals that epsf.tex is actually present in texlive-epsf package. Does it work for you now with current packages from the repository?

ok, works fine now
