The problem is not the lockers - at least, attaching them didn't seem to
make a difference. I need to tell the configure how to manually find
something, and not being a LaTeX user I am not clear on where that lives.

There are about twenty more checks for image conversion utilities, either
to or from ppm or pnm, and except for a few which happen to be in
/usr/openwin/bin (i.e. Solaris strays) none of them are found. This is why
it can't handle images.
I realize it looks bad for the locker maintainer to be asking the user for
advice; you can feel free to tease me the next time we run into each
other at one of Eric's parties :) Meanwhile, any idea where I should point
it to get these utilities?
