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. Just for completeness, here it is again:

You could try searching every file in /opt/local to see which ones contain the string "before Dec 12, 2007"

Sorry for the confusion. I explained in one of my earlier posts that the string "before Dec 12, 2007" was the name of a directory in /usr/local which I subsequently deleted upon encountering the current problem. The directory was called either "before Dec 12, 2007" or most likely "ada-4.3 before Dec 12, 2007" which contained most of the gcc compilers including Ada 4.3. I had apparently renamed the folder before doing a fresh installation of the compilers, probably on that date, then forgot to trash it when things were going well. I don't know how macports found it; also, there were two other Ada compilers in the /usr/local, called ada-4.2 and ada-4.3, the latter being on my PATH variable (but not the one with "before Dec 12, 2007" in it).

In case it's important, my PATH is
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/ada-4.3/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/ bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Applications

grep "before Dec 12, 2007" -r /opt/local

Then using "port provides /path/to/file" you can figure out which port provided that file and then reinstall that port...

Unless someone has another idea, I think I'll start from scratch. I assume I can just delete /opt/local

If this is not too inconvenient for you, it would be the surest way to resolve the problem... To uninstall MacPorts, you should delete all directories into which MacPorts might potentially install, not just /opt/local. See the uninstall instructions in the FAQ:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts


but there is probably a way to delete only installed ports without deleting the port system itself.

To do it that way, for each installed port foo (see "port installed"), run "sudo port -f uninstall foo".
