Created attachment 357212 [details] emerge --info After updating texlive from 2012 to 2013 I get the following error every time I run dvips 5.992_p20120701 : dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro Re-emerging dvipsk did not help. However after updating dvipsk to 5.993_p20130530 the error no longer persists. A suspect for this behaviour is the texlive-module-dvips module that dvipsk installs. dvipsk-5.992_p20120701 uses the 2012 version, while dvipsk-5.993_p20130530 uses the 2013 version.
dvipsk installs /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvips/base/tex.pro here what is your kpathsea version ?
dvipsk-5.992_p20120701 does not install /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvips/base/tex.pro here (or any of /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvips/base/*.pro), dvipsk-5.993_p20130530 does. My kpathsea version is 6.1.1_p20130530.

I was bitten by this as well trying to install texlive 2013 because texlive-core-2013 wrongly pulls in >=dvipsk-5.992. The problem lies in the fact that dvipsk-5.992 installs into /usr/share/texmf/dvips whereas dvipsk-5.993 installs into /usr/share/texmf-dist/dvips and the former isn't in the TEXMF path anymore so kpathsea doesn't find it. Please change the texlive-core ebuild, thank you.
fixed, thanks! it was simple in the end... you were using an old version of dvipsk not compatible with texlive 2013; dep bumped in texlive-core
