Thanks, Hugh.  I should have mentioned that I was using Debian
"unstable".  I have tried Ipe on an etch system and it works fine with
teTeX -- once I had installed tetex-extra.  Do you have tetex-extra
installed?  The ipe package doesn't depend on it, but it seems like it
should.

Thanks, Otfried, for the confirmation of this.  I can use a debian stable
system in the short term.
