What should I ask Amy about her set up, so that I can provide you the information you need to help? For my part, I'm using TeXLive-2007, Mac OS 10.5.8, PowerBook G4 (12 inch). I use "latex", "xdvi", &c. in X-Windows and not, e.g., TeXShop.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div> </div></div>Well, for a start, you could ask her to provide the same info you gave us: TeX distro and version, operating system, processor architecture (not sure if that last one is relevant, but still).<div>
<br></div><div>Is there a reason you're using TeX Live 2007 still? I realize the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach has its merits, and while it's true that new software invariably introduces new bugs, progress has not stood still in the TeX world over the last two years. For instance, you get the rather wonderful TeX Live Utility (and the only slightly less wonderful tlmgr, if you're a command line sort of person -- or on a non-Mac computer) to keep your distribution up to date, thus making bug fixes and new features available more often than once a year.</div>
