[SOLVED] Texlive-extra (on current and 14.2) via SBo - font issues

I've installed texlive-extra from SBo, and I'm trying to include beramono fonts for use with the listings package (only a small snip of the total code. Hopefully all the relevant stuff).:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[scaled=0.85]{beramono}

\lstset{
    language=bash,
    frame=tb, 
    tabsize=4, 
    showstringspaces=false,
    basicstyle=\normalsize\fontencoding{T1}\ttfamily,

Using the above with pdflatex generates the following:

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+510/600 --dpi 510 fvmro8r
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for fvmro8r.
mktexpk: perhaps fvmro8r is missing from the map file.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file fvmro8r): Font fvmro8r at 510 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

texlive-extra contains:

usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/bera/fveb8a.afm
usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/bera/fver8a.afm
usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/bera/fvmb8a.afm
usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/bera/fvmbo8a.afm
usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/bera/fvmr8a.afm

usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/bera/fvsr8a.afm
usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/bera/fvsro8a.afm

What I've been able to find is that there might be a map file issue. Before I start swinging away with the Ubuntu-centric answers I'm seeing, I thought I'd ask if I might be missing some Slackware method for getting the slackbuild provided package working 'out of the box'.

I've only been playing with Latex for a couple of weeks, so it's perfectly feasible that my code is simply wrong, but I've tried several permutations with the same result.

Any ideas or pointers to missed READMEs would be appreciated.

I don't see the source files of your fonts (extension .mf).
I think metafont needs these to produce the bitmap fonts (.pk).

Thanks. That got me started.

I downloaded the bera package and got it working. Unfortunately it seems there's a bit of a disconnect with available documentation on the net and how things are working in Slackware (at least from a complete latex novice standpoint). The bera font package appears to have been installed with texlive-extra, but not fully functional.

kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME (for the proper location to unzip bera.zip)
texhash
updmap -sys --enable Map bera.map

So it's solved for now. Thanks for the input.

It seems the texlive shipped udpmap.cfg lacks some font maps, i'll look into it for the next texlive package.
