I've added tetex-devel.  Thanks for your suggestion.

This makes me wonder, though, how do you normally find a package in
Mandrake; and why didn't *that* method work for you, in this case?
In Debian, you would do:

    $ apt-cache search kpathsea
    catdvi - DVI to plain text translator
    libkpathsea-dev - kpathsea.a and include files for teTeX
    libkpathsea3 - shared libkpathsea for teTeX
    tetex-bin - teTeX binary files
    vflib3 - Versatile Font Library
    vflib3-bin - Sample programs using VFlib3
    vflib3-dev - Development files for VFlib3
    vflib3-doc - Documentation for VFlib3

Greetings,
Jan.
