#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 ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by ryandesign@macports.org): * cc: gwright@macports.org (removed) * owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org => gwright@macports.org Comment: Replying to [comment:3 dersh@alum.mit.edu]:
Yes. I can see that. In fact the prior command in the build includes: [[br]] -L/usr/X11R6 1/lib [[br]][[br]] So that leads to the next questions of why that is there, and what to do about it? Is "X11R6 1" not a typical X11 path? Can Macports not deal with a space in the path name? [snip]
"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. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14185#comment:7> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
