Are these conflicts in the current packages? I removed everything that seemed to
be related to TeX from my system and used dselect to install just
latex. Installed like a charm, but here's what I get when trying to process a
document: 

~/prj/verspohl$ latex bioassay
This is TeX, Version 3.1415 (C version 6.1)
I can't find the default format file!
~/prj/verspohl$ 

I suspect I overlooked something vital, but I'm out of ideas.
