New RPMs for Lire 20011205

Well, I've just installed those RPM's on a RedHat 7.1 box, and am getting
mixed results...
I took a fairly vanilla RH7.1 install, and added the following RPM's (which
were what was needed to meet all the dependency requirements):

dialog-0.9a-4.i386.rpm
jadetex-3.3-1.noarch.rpm
libxml2-2.4.12-1.i386.rpm
libxslt-1.0.9-1.i386.rpm
lire-20011205-2.noarch.rpm
lire-html-20011205-2.noarch.rpm
lire-pdf-20011205-2.noarch.rpm
perl-XML-Parser-2.30-7.i386.rpm
tetex-1.0.7-15.6.i386.rpm
tetex-fonts-1.0.7-15.6.i386.rpm
tetex-latex-1.0.7-15.6.i386.rpm

I also installed:
GD-1.37.tar.gz
GDGraph-1.33.tar.gz
GDTextUtil-0.80.tar.gz

Everything works absolutely great, unless I try and output a PDF.  (the
result is the same whether I have -i or not):

[root at vpn eximlogs]# zcat mainlog.1.gz | lr_run lr_log2report -i -o pdf
/tmp/error email exim > report.pdf
bogus message: /usr/libexec/lire/lr_xml2pdf: line 140: 23339 Segmentation
fault      (core dumped) $PDFJADETEX $tmptex >
/dev/null 2>&1
email exim lr_tag-20011227140143-23223 lr_log2report err lr_xml2pdf failed
email exim lr_tag-20011227140143-23223 lr_log2report notice keeping
/root/tmp/lr_log2report.exim.lr_tag-20011227140143-2
3223.report.xml for debugging.

It seems to be barfing when executing a command something like `pdfjadetex
lr_xml2pdf.all.9900.tex`.  The end of the output of that command is:

Warning: pdfjadetex (file pdftex.map): cannot open font map file
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

AHA!  I have found the culprit.  The pdftex.map file, which is needed by the
pdfjadetex command, is not part of either the jadetex nor the above-listed
tetex rpm's.  Interesting...

So, for anyone who has the same problems, you need to also install the
tetex-dvips rpm (I used tetex-dvips-1.0.7-15.6.i386.rpm)

Now the only problem is that the text in my graphs is horribly mangled and
unreadable.  Whee....
