I have upgrade my 1.4.1 system to 5.1.0pre6 and can not seem to
get the latex invoices to work. Here is the error I am getting:

pslatex
/usr/local/etc/freeside/cache.DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside/invoice.200
50549.fJWWNslL.tex failed: No such file or directory at

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP.pm line 1518


I attempted it from the command prompt and found get the same error:

Please type another input file name:

I think it might be related to the path as on the local system the ; has to
be escaped, such as \;

If I do that on the command line it seems to find the file, but bombs out.

I think this could be historical, but should I attempt to change the DB Schema:

from=>  DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside
to=>    DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside

Any recommendations for a fix this would be greatly appreciatied...

Thanks in Advance,
Steve
