OK, what I had to do with expect was recompile tk-4.1, it's been quite a
while and the system has certainly been moving underneath it.  Check
'expect' off the list, I think it really does work. :-)

teTeX doesn't.  The gist is:

========================================================================
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 -s -pipe
-DHAVE_EXTERN_SYS_ERRLIST=1 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.
gmake: *** [config] Error 1
*** Error code 2

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error Code 1

Stop.
========================================================================

I've uploaded a script of this (and tacked on a uname -a at the top) to
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/teTeX-0.4-compile.log.gz.
I'd try and do more but this is over my head and I don't have ANY idea
where to look!  (Willing to help out where possible though..)
