Current working directory had been removed someday
from TEXCONFIG due to some reason, which I don't remember.

See the output of
kpsewhich -var-value=TEXCONFIG
and put config.foo under a suitable subdirectory
of the output. Don't forget to run mktexlsr.
Normally the place for config.foo is $TEXMF/dvips/config/.
