I have noticed that I do not have any PATH and MANPATH in profile for teTeX (for teTeX4.* I had to put PATH an MANPATH).
It seemed to work until I tried to use dvips. For some quite small document (4 very simple pages without graphics) 'dvips file_name.dvi -o file_name.ps' starts metafont (or kpse*) to make fonts but with strange effects: my screen becomes white and I cannot control my mouse. I decided to kill X Window (ctr alt backspace). However xdvi file_name.dvi works fine. Could someone please explain what's going on ? Should I configure teTeX somehow ? Jan
