[powerdot] Re: Wrong orientation

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.

Many thanks,

Matthias

  Hi Pedro,

  Thanks so much for your help, it worked!  I spent the whole weekend
trying to solve the problem, and you solved it for me in 2 seconds.

  Thanks a lot!
