#15446: teTeX 3.0_5 activation failed ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: jmstephensjr@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: teTeX octave | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- I have a fresh macports installation. I have installed gcc42 and dependents. All OK so far. I go to install octave, and it needs to install about 25 dependencies. When it reached teTex 3.0_5 there was a problem. It compiled and installed, but failed to activate. I know it installed because it shows up in the list of installed ports (without being tagged as activated). Here is the output of the build/install... james-stephens-computer:~ jamesstephens$ port installed The following ports are currently installed: gcc42 @4.2.4_0 (active) gmp @4.2.2_1 (active) libiconv @1.12_0+darwin_8 (active) mpfr @2.3.1_0+darwin_i386 (active) james-stephens-computer:~ jamesstephens$ sudo port install octave ---> Fetching metis ---> Attempting to fetch metis-4.0.tar.gz from http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/fetch/sw/metis/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for metis ---> Extracting metis ... ---> Cleaning qhull ---> Fetching teTeX ---> Attempting to fetch tetex-src-3.0.tar.gz from ftp://tug.ctan.org /tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/current/distrib/ ---> Attempting to fetch tetex-texmf-3.0po.tar.gz from ftp://tug.ctan.org /tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/current/distrib/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for teTeX ---> Extracting teTeX ---> Configuring teTeX ---> Building teTeX with target all ---> Staging teTeX into destroot ---> Installing teTeX 3.0_5 ---> Activating teTeX 3.0_5 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/a2ping is being used by the active pTeX port.
