TeX under ISC 386/ix

Has anyone successfully install TeX under ISC 386/ix?  I have what
appears to be a working copy of TeX, but am running into problems with
METAFONT.  When I try to use dvips to print a TeX document, it
attempts to create any fonts that it can't find.  When it tries to run
mf as (for example):
MakeTeXPK cmcsc10 360 300 magstep\(1.0\) magstep\(1.0\)
and this runs:
mf "\mode:=magstep(1.0); mag:=magstep(1.0); batchmode; input \
    /usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/cmcsc10"

As I understand METAFONT, this should create cmcsc10.360gf, but
instead creates cmcsc10.3122gf.  Does anyone have any ideas about what
is going on?
