I recently attempted to recompile a book that worked fine a year ago, 
and got the following error while it attempts to load makeidx.sty:
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/base/makeidx.sty

! LaTeX Error: Command \printindex already defined.
                Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
  ...

l.43 ...command\printindex{\@input@{\jobname.ind}}

I get the same error with a new document that attempts to use 
makeidx.sty

Thinking my TeX installation was corrupted somehow, I re-installed 
(2004 stable) using the I-Installer.  Same error.  Anyone else getting 
this?
