I'm trying to compile a document using the latex command. This document compiles fine on other machines, but on the machine I'm currently using (Ubuntu 12.04 with texlive installed via aptitude), it doesn't work.

Here's a portion of the compile log that seems relevant to me:

(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/jknapltx/ursfs.fd)
kpathsea: Running mktextfm rsfs10
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input rsfs10
This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)


kpathsea: Running mktexmf rsfs10
! I can't find file `rsfs10'.
<*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input rsfs10

Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
<*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input rsfs10

Transcript written on mfput.log.
grep: rsfs10.log: No such file or directory
mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input rsfs10' failed to make rsfs10.tfm.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.

! Font U/rsfs/m/n/8=rsfs10 at 8.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.

                   relax 
l.71 

?

Frankly, I have no idea what's wrong here. I should note that I'm using the following document class:

(./svjour3.cls
Document Class: svjour3 2007/05/08 v3.2 
LaTeX document class for Springer journals
(./svglov3.clo
SVJour Class option: svglov3.clo for standardised journals
)) 

Any ideas?

I just tried to compile another document (one that doesn't use the svjour3 doc class) using pdflatex, and I got a similar error: Font OT1/ptm/m/n/10.95=ptmr7t at 10.95pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. – synaptik Feb 7 at 2:23

There are tfm-files missing. So quite probably you simply don't have the fonts installed. Check if there are some more tex packages you can install. (With a current TeXLive you need to install with tlmgr times + rsfs.) – Ulrike Fischer Feb 7 at 8:22
@UlrikeFischer Thanks. Following your advice, I installed the following Ubuntu packages: texlive-fonts-extra, texlive-fonts-extra-doc, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended-doc, and tipa. This fixed the problem. – synaptik Feb 7 at 18:07
