Still, not sure why it's trying to install teTeX if you already have

The tex binary (or the link to it anyway) is provided by the texlive port, so just having texlive_texmf-minimal isn't enough.

Jerry, I think at this point you would want to do the following, assuming you don't want to install texlive_texmf-full:

sudo port clean --all teTeX

That went OK.
sudo port install texlive +minimal

This terminated with my "standard error"--a reference to non-existing directories possibly caused by spaces in the path name. Just for completeness, here it is again:

Unless someone has another idea, I think I'll start from scratch. I assume I can just delete /opt/local but there is probably a way to delete only installed ports without deleting the port system itself.

Thanks for all your help.

Jerry


sudo port install octave
