#31903: build failure octave-devel +docs -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: vic@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- I am running Mac OS X 10.7.2, Xcode 4.2. I can do "port install octave- devel +debug" with no problem; however "port install octave-devel +debug +docs" continually fails. MacPorts claims I have do not have a working TeX binary tex installed anywhere in my PATH. See below. In fact I use TeX constantly. My PATH contains "/usr/texbin" which is a symbolic link to "/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-darwin" which contains tex. I have no idea why MacPorts cannot find tex in my PATH. This is not a Lion problem. I had the same problem porting octave-devel +docs in OS X 10.6. Here is the error: {{{ :info:build ../../run-octave -f -q -H ./mk_doc_cache.m doc-cache ../../scripts/DOCSTRINGS ../../src/DOCSTRINGS || { rm -f doc-cache; exit 1; } :info:build TEXINPUTS="./..:$TEXINPUTS" \ :info:build MAKEINFO='/bin/sh /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_ports_math_octave-devel/octave-devel/work/octave-3.4.3/build- aux/missing --run makeinfo -I .' \ :info:build /opt/local/bin/texi2dvi octave.texi :info:build You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in :info:build your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one.
