Hi, 

I have tried to set up the dvitps, new DVI to PS driver by Stephan v.
Bechtolsheim, but I can't make pfd2tfm work correctly. Below is a part
of the output of 'make World':

...
make all-tfm
../../pfd2tfm/src/pfd2tfm -p ../../pfd2tfm/evs Courier.afm
====> Starting
====> Done with options
====> Processing based on AFM file.
====> Reading AFM file now
../../pfd2tfm/src/pfd2tfm: yacc error: syntax error
Last token read:    1: T_ID, line 1 in "/usr/lib/tex/fonts/Courier.afm"
Now showing couple of the last lines read:
  1: StartFontMetrics
pfd2tfm: fatal error.
Error message: "yyerror(): Compiler error"
.....

The .afm files I am use are those from TeXPS.tar file. I believe they
are OK. Does anybody have any idea what is going wrong? What am I doing
wrong???  Please help me....  B-)
