Bill,
I don't know why you have to type all that stuff to get longtable working
on your system. Make sure you `latex` *twice*:
# latex file.tex
<blah blah... output>
# latex file.tex
<more blah blah... output>
`latex` is a single-pass program, so figuring out things like the width of
the table can't be done on a single run of `latex`. By running twice, it
figures out the maximum width of the table on the first run, and it fixes
the table on the second run. Sometimes `latex` must be done thrice.
If you're using a Makefile, make sure your entry looks something like:
file.dvi: file.tex
latex $<
latex $<
not just:
file.dvi: file.tex
latex $<
Welcome to the world of LaTeX! :)
