dvips conflict with teTeX

2006-10-15 Thread David Banning
I have read a recent thread about the conflict between dvips and teTeX.
I get the error;

 dvips-5.76 conflicts with installed package(s): 
  teTeX-base-3.0_10
  teTeX-texmf-3.0_5

I need both packages. I have recently upgrade teTeX and noticed that
dvips was not working.  Is there another way to convert dvi files to
ps? or maybe it's possible to create a postscript file directly from
latex?

teTeX installs a copy of dvips; that's why you get a conflict error.
The dvips port is primarily for systems that wish to use dvips without
the TeX baggage.

The dvips with teTeX should be the same as the dvips port version; it
works fine for me. If you have a problem with it, perhaps you should
describe the error to the list.

Cheers.

  If you're right 90% of the time, why quibble about the remaining 3%?
