I agree, that is weird, however as I stated in my original post, that
directory is in everybody's path (users and root).  As I've also said,
I have the same tetex set up with the same directories in another
distro (PCLinuxOS) and "make dvi" worked flawlessly there.  

Do I need export the path, or edit the Makefile to include
/usr/share/texmf/bin?

Thanks,
Joel
