Thank you, Ricardo, for looking into this. I have lost signficant amounts of hair trying to find a solution. Adding texlive-cm-super doesn't help for the document I trying to typeset. In fact, I even grabbed all texlive packages with fonts and threw them in the texlive-union to no effect. No matter what, pdflatex bails when trying to find the font to set $~$. The only way I have gotten it to typeset under a texlive-union so far is by munging texlive-amsfonts as Jelle mentioned.
