Hi all,
I used to use pstricks package on a Redhat 7.3 machine, where everything was 
taken care of. I now need to use this package on a Solaris machine where I 
have not root prevelige. What I did was as follows:

1. I created a .texmf dir under my home dir, copied all .tex files to 
.texmf/tex/generic/pstricks, all .sty files to ./texmf/tex/latex/pstricks

2. put the following line in my .cshrc:

setenv TEXINPUTS 
.:/nfs/phantom/u10/rende/.texmf//:/usr/local/apps/teTeX/texmf/tex//

Now, I can compile the latex files. But I can not do dvips although I have 
copied all .pro files to .texmf/dvips. I tried to copy them to current dir, 
it worked. But it's very annoying and stupid. Anybody has ideas how to solve 
it?

Still, even if latex and dvips works, xdvi does not work yet. It complained:

xdvi.bin:  special "header=pstricks.pro" not implemented
xdvi.bin:  special "header=pst-dots.pro" not implemented
...
xdvi.bin:  special "header=pst-node.pro" not implemented
xdvi.bin:  special "color push  Black" not implemented
xdvi.bin:  special "color pop" not implemented
gs: Error: /undefined in tx at Dict

I struggled with it for several hours before giving up. I am looking forward 
to some help.
Thank you very much!
