Hm ... my RHEL6 machine, which certainly can build the documentation,
hasn't got either of those:
$ rpm -qa | grep texlive | sort
texlive-2007-60.el6_7.x86_64
texlive-dvips-2007-60.el6_7.x86_64
texlive-latex-2007-60.el6_7.x86_64
texlive-texmf-2007-39.el6_7.noarch
texlive-texmf-dvips-2007-39.el6_7.noarch
texlive-texmf-errata-2007-7.1.el6.noarch
texlive-texmf-errata-dvips-2007-7.1.el6.noarch
texlive-texmf-errata-fonts-2007-7.1.el6.noarch
texlive-texmf-errata-latex-2007-7.1.el6.noarch
texlive-texmf-fonts-2007-39.el6_7.noarch
texlive-texmf-latex-2007-39.el6_7.noarch
texlive-utils-2007-60.el6_7.x86_64
So evidently Red Hat has refactored their TeX RPMs since then.
I don't doubt Devrim's conclusions are good for recent Red Hat
releases, but we might want to add some weasel wording saying
that the required package set has moved around.
Personally, my longstanding habit has been to select the
"Authoring & Publishing" package set when installing any new
RHEL or Fedora box, and as far as I can recall, that's always
Just Worked for building PG docs. Maybe we should mention
that strategy as a preferable one.
