Thanks to everyone who responded to my cri de coeur.
For the record, the solution to the problem was (in short) to do:
sudo yum install texlive
sudo yum install tex-inconsolata.noarch
sudo yum install texlive-collection-fontsrecommended
the last bit being the part that got me over one last hump in respect
of an error "Metric (TFM) file not found".
This worked for me, but a couple of respondents indicated that a
more efficient and easier procedure would be:
to install texlive-2012 for Fedora 17 following the
instructions detailed here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive#TeX_Live_2012_2
I haven't actually *tried* that, given that I had got things working and
didn't dare do anything that might put my system back into bozo mode! :-)
Again, thanks to all who proffered advice.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
