I've just installed TL 2005 and have been doing a few tests

it seems that dvips cannot find files that are specified uaing specific 
path.

Example

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
tekst
\includegraphics{/home/daleif/Signet}
\end{document}

*File List*
  article.cls    2004/02/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX document class
   size10.clo    2004/02/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX file (size option)
graphicx.sty    1999/02/16 v1.0f Enhanced LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR)
   keyval.sty    1999/03/16 v1.13 key=value parser (DPC)
graphics.sty    2001/07/07 v1.0n Standard LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR)
     trig.sty    1999/03/16 v1.09 sin cos tan (DPC)
graphics.cfg    2001/08/31 v1.1 graphics configuration of teTeX/TeXLive
    dvips.def    1999/02/16 v3.0i Driver-dependant file (DPC,SPQR)
/home/daleif/Signet.eps

And then

:~/tmp> dvips imf.dvi
This is dvips(k) 5.95b Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software

dvips: Could not find figure file /home/daleif/Signet.eps; continuing
]


What is going on here? The file _is_ there. Can anyone reproduce this?
