All, I'm having exactly the same problem as Rafa (see his original post from May 2008 below). Pedro suggested to look for the config.ps bug at http://tug.org/texlive/bugs.html Apparently, there used to be a solution on this webpage in May 2008 (see Rafa's reply below). However, this website seems to have changed and I do not see any reference to a config.ps bug any more. I am working on a newly installed Fedora 9 machine and all my packages including texlive are up to date (I'm using the default Fedora repository). Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated.

I spent the whole weekend trying to solve the problem, and you solved it for me in 2 seconds. Thanks a lot!
