Still, not sure why it's trying to install teTeX if you already have texlive. The octave port is written to only care if there is a binary
named "tex", not which port provided it. If you have a tex in /opt/
local/bin that should be enough.

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.

Have you cleaned texlive_base since you removed the path-with-spaces?

Not sure, actually. I remember seeing that somewhere, probably using Porticus, but it's not showing up now. However, I did it just now (--all) and it took a non-trivial amount of time (10 seconds).

Re-ran sudo port install texlive +minimal, then sudo port install octave.

The "standard" error did not appear in either install. However, the latter (Octave) errored out with a compile error in an Octave file that says it is a "urlwrite and urlread, a curl front-end for octave." Here's the error:


/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.2 -c -I/opt/local/include -I. -I.. -I../ liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W - Wshadow -Wold-style-cast -O2 ./DLD-FUNCTIONS/urlwrite.cc -o urlwrite.o ./DLD-FUNCTIONS/urlwrite.cc: In function 'std::string form_query_string(CURL*, const Cell&)': ./DLD-FUNCTIONS/urlwrite.cc:73: error: 'curl_easy_escape' was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [urlwrite.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.


This result seems like progress but also seems like a problem in the Octave-related source.
