Well, works for me on all systems that I have tested (Linux and Solaris).
LaTeX, dvips and xdvi: all no problem.

Well, a known bug. New GNU fileutils and old mktexlsr. They do not work
together. After that mktexlsr was released, the fileutils maintainer
have changed the output format of ls :-( New versions of mktexlsr
(e.g. teTeX-1.0) do work with GNU fileutils-4.

Ok, this system misses a .fd file. In teTeX, these have always been
provided.

If this is the teTeX-provided binary, report this as a bug. Please,
mention the AIX release that you are using. Are you using the default
X libraries that come with the system, or do you have "own" ones (and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH set?

You can set up mktexpk to use ps2pk instead of gsftopk (just look at
texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf). That way, you do not need gs. Or, install gs.

Well, for me, it just works. One problem is that you are using a
PostScript font without the "default" program that people use to handle
PostScript (gs + gv). The other way (ps2pk + xdvi) was not known to
you... :-(
Of course, ps2pk *is* mentioned in TETEXDOC.
