If it's still there after a pkg_delete and the pkg_delete did not give any error then I'm wondering if it could be that teTeX installed partly - from above error message all I can see is that it fails during install. > I figured out the the intall script was crapping out in the > work/teTeX*/Makefile script when it tried to do texconfig, so I ran > texconfig by hand; it fails for me, too.

That's correct, -stable and -current use the exact same ports tree :-). > I got the current STABLE *package* for teTeX, and it fails, too; as > follows: > > i7500# pkg_add -t ./tmp/instmp.XXXXXX -v teTeX*.* > Requested space: 154888784 bytes, free space: 2598464512 bytes in > /tmp/instmp.k13176 Hmmmm, weird message... never saw this one. It looks almost like a temp directory is too small. I guess you checked your disk space already? > Package `teTeX-1.0.7' depends on `png-1.0.9'. > pkg_add: could not find package png-1.0.9 ! Unlike the port, pkg_add fails when it cannot find a dependency, instead of downloading and installing it. Apparently, png-1.0.9 is not present on your system; you need to download that package as well. > Package `teTeX-1.0.7' depends on `libwww-5.3.1'. > - already installed. > pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed > > I really am at wit's end.
