tetex-2.0.2-r1 install failure

[whkinney]

OK. I'm stumped on this one. I'm trying to get tetex running on a new Gentoo install and I am experiencing multiple failures.

First, emerge tetex gives a correct-looking installation, but I find that a number of the TeX config scripts have failed. For example, /usr/share/texmf/web2c/latex.log contains a bunch of lines like:

----------------
(usr/share/texmf/omega/lambda/omegabook/grcodes.tex
catcodes, ucccodes and lccodes for Greek
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
^
l.18 \catcode`^^^^
0386=11 \lccode`^^^^0386=`^^^^03ac \uccode`^^^^0386=`^^^^0391
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
-----------------

These errors are repeated multiple times. The same thing happens when I attempt to process a .tex file, using either plain TeX or LaTeX. I have figured out that I can get this error to go away if I run texconfig and disable Greek and Inuit hyphenation (like I need Inuit hyphenation, but I digress.)

However, once I get rid of the hyphenation probelms, I get font issues. In particular, the "\tt" font command creates errors. Running LaTex on the following file fails:

-------------
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This document fails on my gentoo box: ({\tt this is what makes it break})
\end{document}
-------------

The TeX output is:

----------------------

My suspicion is that the first problem (with the hyphenation) is screwing up the configuration scripts run by the ebuild, which is then causing the second problem with the fonts. Anybody seen the like of this before?

Thanks for any help.
