pslatex error on Solaris 8

[Shivkumar]

hi,
ive installed  Freeside v1.5.0pre6 CVS dated 21 April 05 on a SunOS 5.8 
sparc SUNW,Ultra-60.
ive also installed the teTeX package from sunfreeware.com
I am able to run pslatex from the command line as root and also as the 
'freeside' user -> the output is a dvi file as it is supposed to be.
however when i try view the open invoices, i get the following error:
failed: pslatex 
/usr/local/etc/freeside/cache.DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside/invoice.1.hrLnGPkJ.tex 
failed; see 
/usr/local/etc/freeside/cache.DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside/invoice.1.hrLnGPkJ.log 
for details?
funny thing is: there is no log file in the cache folder; only the .tex 
files

now when i click on the 'view typeset invoice' link, i get the following 
error:
pslatex 
/usr/local/etc/freeside/cache.DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside/invoice.1.ztE3Ncmy.tex 
failed: No such file or directory at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/FS/cust_bill.pm line 1448.


The httpsd_error log also shows this:
old-style invoice template invoice_latex; patch with conf/invoice_latex.diff
sh: pslatex: not found

i found that there is indeed a .diff file in the conf folder but when i 
did a patch < invoice_latex.diff all  the hunks were rejected.

so what am i doing wrong?
also , thanks to ivan for giving a fresh lease of life to the pre-paid 
cards. Ive yet to test it though
