Hi,

I'm trying to get revtex4-1 to work under my /usr/local/texlive
installation . I installed revtex4-1 according to the README found in
the revtex4-1.zip file from here
https://authors.aps.org/revtex4/revtex4-1.zip . I then ran mktexlsr
and also texhash and it looks like it did the right thing :

texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2009/../texmf-local/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/ls-R...
texhash: Done.

These commands also give :

$ kpsewhich revtex4-1.cls
/usr/local/texlive/2009/../texmf-local/tex/latex/revtex/revtex4-1.cls

$ kpsewhich revtex4.cls
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/revtex4/revtex4.cls

$ kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL
/usr/local/texlive/2009/../texmf-local

But then when I try to run tex on the aps template under
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/doc/latex/revtex/sample/aps/apstemplate.tex
or on the 00readme.tex file from the revtex4-1 distribution I get the
error :

for apstemplate.tex :

Any ideas?

Thanks,
