Re: a bit of help

[Jan Kohnert]

Your output says "dvips: command not found".
Do you have a correct tex-installation???
(Sorry I don't know the name of the packages for RH9, I'm using SuSE8, maybe 
you have also some help center and can search for the correct package 
including dvips (at my installation it is simply called tetex).
