Still trying to get octave and octave-forge installed on a Leopard / Santa Rosa Macbook. This time the teTex install bailed out. The relevant error is:

Digging in it appears that the 'config.cache' file wasn't cleaned out prior to distribution and a bad definition for one of the library paths was left in resulting in the following entry in the xdvik Makefile:
x_ldflags=-L/usr/local (from old Mac)/lib -L/usr/X11/lib
Removing the " (from old Mac) " in the Makefile allowed the build to proceed to completion.
tetex is distributed without a config.cache file. That file must have been generated on your machine during the build process. Also, I downloaded the tetex 3.0 source code and found no occurrences of the string "from old Mac" anywhere in it. Do you have a directory "/usr/ local (from old Mac)" on your Mac? If so, try moving it elsewhere or getting rid of it. Then try "sudo port clean --work tetex" and try installing again. Also, note that there is a bug titled "tetex is dead" which you might want to read to see if "tetex" is really the software package you want to be using: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12913
