Evaluate the following expression in a kernel.

ToFileName[{$TopDirectory, "SystemFiles", "Graphics", "SystemResources"}]

That should return the path to psfix in the Mathematica 3.0 installation.
Copy it to a directory that is on your shell's PATH variable list, and
the problem should just go away.
