Usually MacPorts wants to use its own dependencies, instead of non-MacPorts versions of things you may already have installed. MacTeX is an exception to this rule. So there are two possibilities: 1. One of the ports you're trying to install needs TeX, cannot use MacTex, and therefore the dependency is declared to enforce MacPorts TeX Live (as a port: style dependency) 2. One of the ports you're trying to install needs TeX, could use MacTeX, but the dependency is declared incorrectly to require MacPorts TeX Live; in this case, the dependency should be changed (from a port: style dependency to a bin: style dependency) Can you figure out which port is pulling in MacPorts TeX Live? I guess it's one of these; these are the ones that require MacPorts TeX Live and do not allow MacTeX, though I don't know if that's deliberate in every case or an oversight. $ port echo depends:port:texlive dblatex dvipng dvisvgm evince lcdf-typetools lhs2tex lilypond lilypond-devel texlive texlive-basic texlive-bibtex-extra texlive-bin texlive-bin-extra texlive-context texlive-fonts-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fontutils texlive-formats-extra texlive-games texlive-generic-extra texlive-generic-recommended texlive-htmlxml texlive-humanities texlive-lang-african texlive-lang-arabic texlive-lang-cjk texlive-lang-cyrillic texlive-lang-czechslovak texlive-lang-english texlive-lang-european texlive-lang-french texlive-lang-german texlive-lang-greek texlive-lang-indic texlive-lang-italian texlive-lang-other texlive-lang-polish texlive-lang-portuguese texlive-lang-spanish texlive-latex texlive-latex-extra texlive-latex-recommended texlive-luatex texlive-math-extra texlive-metapost texlive-music texlive-omega texlive-pictures texlive-plain-extra texlive-pstricks texlive-publishers texlive-science texlive-xetex asymptote xindy auto-multiple-choice auto-multiple-choice-devel cadabra dot2texi imaxima stog _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
