When I did the installation yesterday I did check to ensure that none of those variables were set. I guess I could have made a typo though at some point which gave me the wrong answer or lulled me into a false sense of security. Doing "texconfig conf" didn't result in anything that looked obviously wrong or out of place. As a result of your suggestion and because it wouldn't take very long, I repeated the installation process just now, making doubly sure none of those variables were set. The end result of this is that both the reported problems have gone away. Thus I must have inadvertently had something funky set despite my checking yesterday. > > Running a file through latex results in the following: > It should look like this: > This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5) > (/t/2.0.2/tetex-texmf/tex/latex/base/sample2e.tex > LaTeX2e <2001/06/01> > Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, f > innish, nohyphenation, loaded. > (/t/2.0.2/tetex-texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls > ...

As outlined above, the evidence suggests that there was something wrong with the search paths at the time of installation yesterday. I don't have any way of telling whether it was TEXINPUTS or some other variable though. I guess TEXINPUTS is the most likely candidate though. Once again, thanks very much for your suggestion!
