Well, I attempted to install the xdvi package this morning, and that failed as well. This URL (http://depasquale.tcnj.edu/~depasqua/xdvi0329.txt) will take you to the full install output. Notable lines of issue include:

checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin7.3.0

Tetex doesn't configure xdvik for you, because it thinks you don't have X11 installed. From your log file:


checking for X... no

At this point, I am getting


checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include

So there must be something wrong with your installation of X11. Looking at the tetex configure script, I suspect that it is your xmkmf. Type "sh xmkmf". You should see something like


% sh xmkmf
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
imake: No such file or directory
imake: No description file.
  Stop.

If you get something else, it is possible that your /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf script is corrupt (almost normal with Apple's X11).


Otherwise, you can look at the config.log file in /sw/src/tetex-2.0.2-34/tetex-src-2.0.2 and see whether there is anything interesting around the line

configure:1609: checking for X
