Hmmmn,
$ locate atex209.def
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/latex209.def
$ equery belongs `!!`
equery belongs `locate atex209.def`
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/

app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r3 (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/
latex209.def)
$ locate tex.pro

equery is my distro's tool for finding which package provides which
file. It looks to me like these missing files should be provided by
the basic part of your LaTeX distribution. My best suggestion is to
try reinstalling LaTeX with your distro's package manager and/or use
it to try a different version of LaTeX.
Although I know it sounds like a bit of a cop-out I suggest you
resolve this - and get devices.tex to compile - before posting here
further. You can also copy invoice.tex from your templates directory,
edit the LSMB variables out of it and very easily mock up a "fake"
invoice - you should be able to get this to compile.
comp.text.tex is very helpful for LaTeX problems: <http://

`sendmail -t` is the way to call Postfix's "Sendmail compatibility
interface" so that it respects "To: " headers included in the
message. I don't think "-t" is a valid parameter to Ye Olde Sendmail,
so make sure it's Postfix you've got installed, not any of the other
replacements.
With Postfix you should be able to make a text file with the contents:
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Here's an invoice
Hi, pay up, or the fluffy kitten gets it.
and send it by typing `sendmail -t < /path/to/textfile` (or `cat /
path/to/textfile | sendmail -t`). If you're using some different
transport then I guess the "-t" might not be needed (`sendmail < /
path/to/textfile`) and should omitted from your .conf file.
Finally, I'm not sure about SL configuration, but L-SMB configuration
is different from yours, omitting the pipe:
$ grep sendmail /usr/local/ledger-smb/ledgersmb.conf
### How to send mail. The sendmail command is used unless
smtphost is set.
sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

Do you have invoice.html & invoice.tex in /usr/local/ledger-smb/
templates/dave/ (or /usr/local/ledger-smb/templates/$username/ rather)??
