For a moment there, Chris, a most welcoming surge of joy came over me.

I find NOTHING with LaTeX obvious, so it is quite conceivable that I  
missed it.

But looking again my original post:

The teTeX website has for sometime carried a "no longer maintained"  
notice and suggested the alternative of TeXLive. When I last had  
problems in March this was not available in my distro's package  
manager, but someone on the Gentoo mailing list has observed that it  
now is. I'll try upgrading to that before proceeding further.
