texlive problems
I love the fact that F9 is now using texlive instead of tetex. However,
I have found these 3 problems so far:
1. pcatcode.sty is missing. Example:
$ cat t.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsrefs}
\begin{document}
hello
\end{document}
$ latex t.tex
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)

Don't know about this. The file is missing here too.

It seems to be there in the F8 version. I don't have it installed,
though.

What I do here, is I would search for that *.sty file. Found it here:
http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsrefs/pcatcode.sty
Copy it to your working directory, ie., where you are compling your TeX files.
Then it should work. There are other things that you can do, This is what I
would do to make it easier for me.
2. No kdvi program. kdvi used to be in kdegraphics but this
no longer
seems to be the case. kdvi works very well with kile. Has
this program
been dropped?
okular takes its place. It opens up if you run KDE, if you run Gnome, evince
will open dvi files. You can also get xdvi, if you need/want it.
3. There seems to be a problem with pdf metapost
processing. I haven't
tracked this down fully yet but a collection of metapost
and latex files

Several people noted that kdvi has been replaced by okular in kedgraphics. That's fine, we can live with that. One of my users complained that okular does not implement inverse search.
