[texhax] can't get powerdot to work

[Tom Schneider]

Hendri:

I'm trying to set up powerdot:

http://stuwww.uvt.nl/~hendri/index.html?/~hendri/Downloads/powerdot.html&mainframeha

I've managed to set it up part way.  I found that I needed xkeyval and
geometry.  So I got the latest versions of those from CTAN

http://tug.ctan.org/get?fn=/macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval.zip
http://tug.ctan.org/get?fn=/macros/latex/contrib/geometry.zip

and added them to my path:

setenv TEXINPUTS /home/strawberry/toms/tools/powerdot/distrib/run:/home/strawberry/toms/tools/xkeyval/xkeyval/run:/home/strawberry/toms/tools/geometry/geometry:

So far so good.  But when I run latex:

latex powerdot-example1.tex

it fails:

I don't see what to do next.  Can you help?

Thanks!
