Re: dvips permission problem

 Hi Antonio,

 you wrote :
> I keep getting the message of "no permission" when running dvips as user.

 this message seems harmless,
   according to log you posted, dvips continues without creating that file.
 does it cause you any problems ?

 if so, or if you just want to get rid of the warnings :
 you can fix it 2 ways :
   give your user more permissions, or
   require less permissions for /var/spool/texmf etc.
 first look at what permissions and groups these have,
   then maybe you find that putting your user in group 'dvips' suffices
 else try to make directorys read/write by everybody.
 and if that doesnt work,
   file a bug against dvips.

 hope this helps,

 Siward
