I didn't realise my Godhood was showing, but since you noticed....
After meditating and going Ommmm 3 times the answer is:
One or more of the following:

1/  42
2/  You dont have the relevant tex support packages installed correctly
3/  If not printing/plotting  its because you dont have gnu-plot
4/  It is an old package and needs to be recompiled with your current 
lib configuration.

His answers to the hotmail question are:

1/  42
2/  If he is running Debian then he must put a symlnk for perl in 
/usr/bin or modify the start of the script to his location.
3/  If he is not using Debian than most likely he needs the curlssl lib 
which do not come with most distributions.
4/  He is trying to forward his mail from hotmail to another account 
without having sendmail correctly installed/configured on his machine. 
He needs to do this even to forward to his user@localhost address.

The answers to the confusions resulting from your emails are:
1/  42
2/  You are using AW: when the rest of the civilised world is using Re:
3/  You are not >quoting emails that you reply to but including them as 
first-person text in your email which makes it appear that you are 
asking the same question that you are actually replying to.
