#14185: teTeX 3.0_5 fails to build ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dersh@alum.mit.edu | Owner: gwright@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: teTeX;gnuplot;link ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by cleonello@yahoo.com): Replying to [comment:7 ryandesign@macports.org]:
"X11R6 1" is not a typical X11 location. MacPorts and probably lots of
the software you can install using MacPorts cannot deal with paths with spaces in the path name. It's just not usual for unix software to support this, so this will probably never change. I don't know why "X11R6 1" is on your system but others' guesses in this ticket seem plausible. Probably you should remove it.
Replying to your questions in the issue description: gnuplot depends on
a TeX program. It probably used to depend on teTeX but since teTeX is dead it was changed to texlive, but in such a way that if you already have teTeX it'll use that instead. This is intentional, so that you can select the TeX program that you prefer.
Assigning ticket to maintainer of teTeX.
I have the same issue. Is there any workaround for this? Can the portfile or makefile or cofigure script be hacked to igonore this directory and not add it to the library search path? Or, as suggested in the nabble post mentioned above, can I manual link? How would that be done? Would I then rerun port install after linking? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14185#comment:8> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
