 I think you made one of two mistakes.
 It is possible that you use teTeX meta port in which case you already
 have xdvi, which came as a dependency.

Well, I installed teTeX via packages but then there was no Xdvi. I think I 
haven't installed the mentioned meta port. But nice to know that such thing 
exists. When I force xdvi to install, it comes to some inconsistencies with 
fonts and so on.


 Second possibility (most likely) is that you are trying to compile wrong
 version of xdvi. There is one for teTeX and there is
 one for the older ports Latex and TeX.

 You need http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/print/xdvik/pkg-descr

Cool, I will try that.

  Thanks a lot

XDVI, LaTeX, teTeX dependencies

[Holger Jorra]

Hi,

I know that this is not only a FreeBSD issue, but I don't know where else I 
should ask. First, this issue has been brought up here in a different way 3 
years ago, but there seems to be no solution, yet. [1]

I use Latex for documentation and presentations of my work. My problem is that 
I still haven't found a working DVI-Viewer in FreeBSD without installing the 
whole KDE-dependencies (KDVI). Latex compiles into dvi files. So either I use 
teTex (as the thread [1] recommends) but which is not supported anymore [2] 
and cannot use XDVI, or I install the latex-package and will not be able to 
use other Latex-tools like dvips and cannot print or share it.
To make it short:


===  Installing for xdvi-pl20_3

===  xdvi-pl20_3 conflicts with installed package(s): 
  teTeX-base-3.0_12
  teTeX-texmf-3.0_5

  They install files into the same place.
  Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1


AFAIK both packages want to install the file /usr/local/bin/latex.

So my questions are: Is there a way to bent the dependency of XDVI on teTex in 
general (maybe this is a developers issue, not porters - don't know) or is 
there another small Viewer I may use instead? The other way would be much 
more difficult, I think. Has anyone here a workaround for this? Is there a 
solution in the very near future?



Thanks a lot
Holger
