The problem described in the 12AUG2005 comp.text.tex thread, "CTAN update:
arev" also applies to TeX Live:

     http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_frm/thread/c06bbcd9527c99e8/4f04f9d06de194e2#4f04f9d06de194e2

Basically, to get the arev package (included in TeX Live) to work one also
has to install the mathdesign package (*not* currently included in TeX Live)
and ensure that arev's .enc files are installed someplace dvips can find
them, as opposed to in arev's default location.

Here's a minimal test document which can help you determine if arev and
mathdesign are installed properly:

     \documentclass{minimal}
     \usepackage{arev}

     \begin{document}
     Does this $\steaming$ work?
     \end{document}
