The distribution comes with a .so file for the -me and -ms packages.
If it's not installed where the packages can find it (probably in two
different places), or if there's no .PS definition in the package
that loads it with .so, that would explain your problem.

The fix is to put .PS into the package (cf. .EQ and .TS) and install
the "real" .PS-.PE definition wherever it belongs.
