make all-ps fails on Snow Leopard + MacTeX

[francescog]

all-ps target fails because my TeX distribution links latex to pdftex. So no .dvi files are produces but directly a pdf file. I don't recall when and how I installed this particular distribution (MacTeX) but I guess that I will not be alone: maybe some kind of check should be added that this toolchain works as expected.

These are the last lines of output of make all-ps:
for f in .dvi; do dvips $f; done
This is dvips(k) 5.96 Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
dvips: ! DVI file can't be opened.
make: ** [all-ps] Error 1

Marking this low-priority. Reconsider after BoostCon

agree, I was just trying every command :-)
