thanks for your reply. the problem appears inconsistently, but here is how i can get it to occur. in a terminal window, i type "open -a skim test.ps" i then type "dvips -o test.ps test" skim prompts me, i reply "auto", and compiles to .pdf once. then, after repeating "dvips -o test.ps test" several times, sometimes skim compiles the file to .pdf once, but other times twice.
(typically i invoke latex and dvips from within vim, but the above problem occurs even when i invoke dvips from the command line.) i've read through the wiki but don't see anything applicable to my problem. thanks, phil > How are you running latex?
