[tex-live] ! I can't find file `ptmr7t'.

[John Spiesberger]

Hi,

I installed Fedora 13 this week, and used yum to install texlive.
When using texlive, it is unable to work even with a simple file,  
try.tex, such as:


\documentclass{article}
       \usepackage{times}
       \title{Brief Article}
       \author{The Author}
       \begin{document}
       \maketitle
       This is a test!
\end{document}


The error appears when I type latex try.tex

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11-beta (Web2C 2010/pretest)
  restricted \write18 enabled.

I found similar problems on the web, and tried the solution from
  http://www.geekness.net/?p=10

but that did not work either!

Thank you!

John
