Error installing print/latex
When doing a make on print/latex I get the following error: === Compressing manual pages for tex-3.14159_2 === Registering installation for tex-3.14159_2 === Returning to build of latex2e-2003.12_1 === Configuring for latex2e-2003.12_1 === Building for latex2e-2003.12_1 ! I can't read tex.pool; bad path? *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/print/latex. I am sure this is some sort of path thing because tex.pool indeed exists at /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/tex.pool; however, I have been unable to figure out what I need to change where to make it work. I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE. Any help you could provide would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time!

If there is not I would suggest that you use print/teTeX instead. It is probably more up to date and is what most people use for TeX-related stuff. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

If there is not I would suggest that you use print/teTeX instead. It is probably more up to date and is what most people use for TeX-related stuff. Well I've only ever used LaTeX. Perhaps I don't need it, but I'm not sure. I am unfamiliar with the specific differences between plain TeX and the LaTeX2e macros. I use Miktex on my windows box and have always used LaTeX reference materials for composing my documents. LaTeX used to be installed on this BSD box and I don't recall having any problems back then (it was installed as a part of print/lilypond). Well, now that I look through lilypond's Makefile, it appears that latex is a part of print/teTeX? *is a little confused* I will try installing that instead. What are the differences between print/latex and print/teTeX? Why are there two ports? Thanks for your help!

Quoting /usr/ports/print/teTeX-base/pkg-descr: teTeX is _the_ TeX distribution for UNIX compatible systems. It contains the latest versions of TeX friends and nearly everything you need for happy TeX'ing. For more information have a look at the lengthy FEATURES file of the distribution. teTeX-base contains various utilities including TeX and dviware themselves. WWW: http://www.tug.org/tetex/ However, I just built the latex port from scratch on an up-to-date -STABLE system, and it worked fine. Do you have up-to-date ports? Make sure you clean the port directory before trying to build it again. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps I don't need it, but I'm not sure. I am unfamiliar with the specific differences between plain TeX and the LaTeX2e macros. I have not used plain TeX myself, but I have got the strong impression that it is PITA. Using the LaTeX macros makes life much easier (which is why very few people use plain TeX, while many people like LaTeX.) I use Miktex on my windows box and have always used LaTeX reference materials for composing my documents. LaTeX used to be installed on this BSD box and I don't recall having any problems back then (it was installed as a part of print/lilypond). Well, now that I look through lilypond's Makefile, it appears that latex is a part of print/teTeX? *is a little confused* I will try installing that instead. print/teTeX does indeed include the LaTeX macros (as well as a whole bunch of other TeX-stuff.) I am fairly sure that print/teTeX includes everything useful that print/latex does and then some. What are the differences between print/latex and print/teTeX? Why are there two ports? It seems to be simply two different ways of package TeX + various macro packages. I don't know why both exist. Historical reasons probably. -- Insert your favourite quote here.
