Hi.

I'm using the version of TeX that is found in the file  
MacTeX.mpkg.zip, located on the web page http://www.tug.org/mactex ...

I've just started getting the following error when running dvips or  
dvipdf:

$ dvips -o book.ps book

In other words, the last time I ran these commands on this particular  
set of files, I did not get this error.


When I run these commands under Fedora 9 Linux, I get messages

but everything else seems okay.

Thoughts?  Thanks.
