I followed the instructions to switch to snow leopard. I've deleted
all Fink's .la files and have rebuilt the packages when the missing
files were needed when running an update-all. All went rather well.
Now I'm having trouble with tetex.
With the simple latex document ...
> \documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
> \begin{document}
> hello
> \end{document}
My TeXShop preference have ...
Default Command: Latex
Default Script: Tex + DVI
Tex: altpdflatex
Latex: altpdflatex
When I typeset, I get ...
### This is /sw/bin/altpdflatex, Version $Revision: 2.14 $
### /sw/bin/latex test.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

### FAILED to generate /tmp/altpdflatex.53342/-n test.ps ()
It doesn't appear my switch to Snow Leopard changed either dvips or
altpdflatex.
$ ls -l /sw/bin/dvips
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 230476 2008-07-18 01:14 /sw/bin/dvips
$ ls -l /sw/bin/altpdflatex
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 9 2009-07-10 11:16 /sw/bin/altpdflatex ->
altpdftex
Meanwhile the simple sequence below works
> latex test.tex
> dvips -f test.dvi > test.ps
> ps2pdf13 test.ps > test.pdf
Any ideas as to what happened to break TeXShop?
