[SD4L-user] Doc-building trouble prevents building ScramDisk 2.0-2 64-bit

[Jonathan C. <jco...@ro...>]

My attempt to build SD4L is blocked by a problem in the docs 
compilation. Can this be bypassed? Surely the PDF could be supplied as a 
complete PDF or made available separately.

I had to install something like 23 packages to get pdflatex and my 
compile of ScramDisk ends with this absurd output because 'ptmr7t' can't 
be found (What can I do about that?):

    No file scramdisk.aux.
    (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfss/ot1ptm.fd)
    kpathsea: Running mktextfm ptmr7t
    mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1;
    nonstopmode; input ptmr7t
    This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

    ?                                   

Hitting return at each of the many '?' prompts (I also tried 'quit') 
allows the script to continue until final failure:

    mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode;
    input ptmri7t' failed to make ptmri7t.tfm.
    make[1]: *** [scramdisk.pdf] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jcoles/Downloads/ScramDisk-2.0/docs'
    make: *** [all] Error 1

Any ideas what the problem is, or better yet, the fix?

Thanks.
