PyX is right in searching for this file. But PyX simply counts on the
infrastructure of your TeX installation, and this seems to not work
properly on your box. When you use PyX in the default configuration
(without compiling the libpkathsea extension module) PyX uses the
kpsewhich executable to find out the location of the files it needs
from your TeX installation. For that your TeX installation should come
with a kpsewhich executable. You need to be able to say "kpsewhich
psfonts.map" on your command line and get the position of the
corresponding file on your system. Can you try whether this already
failes?
Best,
André
