I've installed MacTex2007 and added /usr/texbin to $binpath in macports.conf. Then I've got no problem installing gnuplot, i.e. it does not try to install teTeX for me. However, if I invoke "sudo port upgrade gnuplot" (when the gnuplot is already the newest version), it starts to install teTeX. Why would it do this? Is there any problem in the implementation of the "upgrade" command, or did I miss anything in the configuration?

MacPorts is designed to use its own software, not any other software you may have installed elsewhere. See the FAQ: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ FAQ#WhyisMacPortsusingitsownlibraries
