One of the dependancies for xdrawchem is system-tetex, but I don't have tetex installed. Is there a way to complete the xdrawchem install using just the system-tetex placeholder, or do I need to install everything (as the error message suggests)
//////////////////////////////
You don't a valid teTeX installation; you were missing
/usr/local/teTeX/lib/libkpathsea.a /usr/local/teTeX/include/kpathsea/tex-file.h /usr/loca
l/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
Install the tetex-texmf and tetex-base packages instead, or install teTeX manually from http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html and then retry installing the system-tetex package.
This gives already some hint of what to do.
You need some form of TeTeX (e.g. the Wierda distribution) to use the system-tetex package--that's kind of the point of it.
But, the problem is that Gerben Wierda's TeX distribution has morphed into a kind of big package managing system with a sort of splitoffs (plus packages for libraries, dependency checking etc; no sources, though). One consequence of this is that just by installing "the" GW tetex package, you have no guarantee that all necessary files are present. There is a kind of "GW-tetex-dev" package - it's a different name that I don't know by heart - that contains the files marked as missing above, the kpathsea library, tex-file.h and texmf.cnf. You need to install this thing, too.
