I just spent the last 4 days building TeX and dvips.

To test it, I tried to run dvips on the reference card that comes with the
gnu debugger. This comes as both refcard.dvi and refcard.ps with the gdb
distribution.

Imagine my surprise when the refcard.ps I built came out sideways with
respect to the refcard.ps from gnu. Specifically, this is a two-page
document intended to print in landscape mode. What I ended up with was
in portrait mode. Real close, but no cigar. The text runs off the side
of the page.

Has anyone had an experience like this and lived to figure it out?

If so, can you give me a hint where I might have gone wrong?

I'm running the version which is built by collecting from the three sites
as explained in the readme file in the unixtex dir at wuarchive.

thanks,
tim
