problem with postscript fonts



I'm having trouble getting postscript fonts to work with dvips.

I went to ftp://ctan.tug.org/ and downloaded texk-7.2a, texmflib,
pdftexlib-0.12h, etexlib-2.0, and omegalib-1.5.

I untarred all the lib files into /usr/local/lib/texmf, and built
texk-7.2 by running "make".  I then installed psnfss in
/usr/local/lib/texmf/tex/latex/packages/psnfss and then untarred the
contents of ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/adobe into
/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/psfonts/.

As it stands now, most things seem to work with the exception of the
small caps fonts.

I tried adding in the files from the entire
ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts directory, the lw35nfss.zip
files, and the lw35pk.zip files, but small caps fonts still did not
work.  I also tried putting all the map files into the psfonts.map file,
also with no effect.

ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/adobe seems to have tfm
files for all the small caps fonts I want, and they are installed, but
not the vf files.

Here is an example TeX document which works with the distribution of TeX
I installed in August of 1995:

----- cut here -----
\font\fa=pagkc at 8pt

\font\fh=pncbc at 8pt
\font\fx=pplrc at 8pt
\font\fj=pplbc at 8pt
\font\fk=ptmrc at 8pt
\font\fl=ptmbc at 8pt

\fa Eeep!
\fb Eeep!
\fc Eeep!
\fd Eeep!
\fe Eeep!
\ff Eeep!
\fg Eeep!
\fh Eeep!
\fx Eeep!
\fj Eeep!
\fk Eeep!
\fl Eeep!

This document will TeX fine, but dvips will fail to find every font.
Running dvips in debug mode, I see that it searches for a pagkc8r.vf
file and is unable to find one.  Each font fails, not just pagkc.When I
compile and dvips this document on my older TeX system it is produced
correctly.
