Even the simplest file will not 'compile'; errors in the ps2pdf process. I saw that there were some issues on ctan, but I run fedora and get my texlive files via their repositories. Even a files such as this will not work: \documentclass{powerdot} \title{Powerdot Test} \author{Roger} \date{March 2014} \begin{document} \maketitle \section{First section} \begin{slide}{Your Name Here \$ 5.00} \begin{itemize} \item This is an item \item second item \pause \item Third item \end{itemize} \end{slide} \end{document} Is this going to ever get resolved?
