>Hi. I'm trying to use dvips. But when I do I get the following message:
>>dvips: ! Couldn't find header file tex.pro
This means that it couldn't find the file /mit/sipb/lib/tex/ps/tex.pro.
There are a couple of reasons this could happen:
1. It doesn't exist. This could happen if you don't have the sipb
locker attached. If you are somehow running dvips from
an explicit AFS path, rather than from /mit/sipb/$bindir/dvips,
you should use the abstraction ``add sipb.''
2. It exists, but you are forcing dvips to look in a place where
it doesn't. If you have the DVIPSHEADERS environment variable
set to some weird location, you'll get that error.
If you have checked this and it is still a problem, please
indicate what kind of machine you are on, and include in your report any
environment variables or aliases that are relevant. Also,
check for the existence of the tex.pro file itself:
ls -l /mit/sipb/lib/tex/ps/tex.pro
