Right.  psfonts.map is in several ways a special case.  The system
will read exactly one, which has to contain everything.

 hello everybody,
 
 I have installed the teTeX in the SGI. But, when I tried to use the pdflatex on 
 a tex file, it fails to read the JPG images.
 
 Please give me some suggestion to correct this.

There's a mailing list for pdftex/pdflatex:

Re: Error opening terminal: generic.

 Hi all,
 
 Well, I'm sure *someone* must have seen the error:
 
 Error opening terminal: generic.
 
 when running texconfig.
 
 I make'd teTeX v1.0.7, with the texmf dir correctly identified, and all
 was successful. However, make install fails with the above error when it
 runs texconfig. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Try setting the TERM environment variable to vt100.  In a Bourne-style
shell, that would be:

TERM=vt100
export TERM

texconfig uses dialog, and I bet your $TERM is "generic", which dialog
and I have never heard of.  Just a guess.

Re: ConTeXt formats

 It would be nice to see ConTeXt used by more people, but I am
 concerned that if it becomes as readily available as plain tex then
 people will assume that it has a similar license, and as a result,
 violate the license unintentionally.  This implies extra workload
 for TeX gurus who will then have to explain to these users that they
 have to purchase table.tex and Lucida fonts in order to compile a
 document that they brought with them from their previous school or
 obtained from a colleague.

Are you sure about table.tex?  There is no file by that name in the
context distribution, and the only *table* files in the tetex
distribution that I could find are latex-related.

Hans has written several more sophisticated ways of doing tables since
context used the third-party table support.

As to Lucida fonts, yes, the Lucida fonts are commercial, but that has
nothing to do with context per se.  Any document (latex, plain,
whatever) that uses those fonts won't compile on my system, since I
haven't bought the fonts.  It's not a ConTeXt-specific issue.

 There are some restrictions in the ConTeXt license, so it is
 probably better to require that someone (presumably one who has read
 the documentation!) has to explicitly enable ConTeXt.

You may want to check that.  I don't think that is why the formats are
commented out.  ConTeXt's license is the GNU Public License:

public version

 [3.1] The most recent stable version of ConTEXt is available as
   free software under the conditions of the gnu general
   public licence.

 [3.2] This public version can be considered to be the `official
   public ConTEXt distribution'.

In a few circumstances, yes.

 The dvips driver has a .def file but I can't seem to find a .def
 file for the dvilj driver so that I can set it as the default.

I don't know about that.
