The compiled versions of TeX and dvips in /usr/bin/tex and
/usr/bin/dvips expect the default fonts file directory to be
/usr/lib/tex/fonts but it is really /NextLibrary/Fonts/TeXFonts.  You
can overcome this by setting environment variables TEXFONTS and TEXPKS
to the correct values or, more simply, create a symbolic link as

ln -s /NextLibrary/Fonts/TeXFonts /usr/lib/tex/fonts
