I found a little bug but I don't know how to fix it (see below). Notice that installing gnuplot fetches teTex, and no, installing teTex does not fetch gnuplot (I wish it were that easy)

What bug are you reporting? It looks like you aborted the fetch of tetex-texmf-3.0po.tar.gz. I tried "sudo port fetch teTeX" and it fetched both tetex-src-3.0.tar.gz and tetex-texmf-3.0po.tar.gz just fine, though they are 12MB and 87MB respectively. Perhaps you just need to wait longer for tetex-texmf-3.0po.tar.gz to arrive.

the bug is that i wasnt trying to install tetex, i was trying to install gnuplot

But gnuplot needs an installed version of tetex to work properly. So macports automatically downloads tetex and all other necessary packages for you and installs them. When all requirements are met then gnuplot will be downloaded and installed. To see the dependencies for a port use this command: port info <portnamehere> Hope this helps, Simon - -- + privacy is necessary + using http://gnupg.org + public key id: 0x6115F804EFB33229 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGxzj9YRX4BO+zMikRCmaQAJwOSaea/OITuqW0stsxCXz7zg02YwCg4Pgw NnFPW0Of+Kw6LopFCxZD6MM= =h41E -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
