Thanks, Randy. I've done most of this, and I also have MikTeX installed,
so the path was the first thing I've checked. In fact, it was by seeing
that it picked up the MikTeX executables that I realized that the symlinks
were screwed up... My latex installation now works correctly, but what
concerns me is that it was in an invalid state after install.
