#15446: teTeX 3.0_5 activation failed -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: jmstephensjr@gmail.com | Owner: stechert@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: teTeX octave -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Changes (by jmr@macports.org): * cc: alakazam@melix.net (added) * owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org => stechert@macports.org * milestone: => Port Bugs Comment: I think this is a problem with the octave port. It lists three dependencies on bin:tex:$whatever, and consequently tries to install teTeX, texlive and pTeX, which as you discovered is impossible. It should list only one port for the TeX dependency, preferably bin:tex:texlive. For an immediate workaround, I'd recommend uninstalling teTeX and pTeX and then installing texlive. Then you can try installing octave again, and since TeX will be present from the start of the process, the dependencies will all register as being fulfilled and it should work. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15446#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
