Perhaps this is an unsatisfying answer, but since you clearly already intend to circumvent your operating system's package manager and packaging scheme, the solution would be to manually install TeXLive. No doubt there's a debate to be had on the matter, but it seems rather fruitless to me to try and convince the FreeBSD porters/packagers to do extra work that makes their own efforts superfluous... -- ================================================================= :: Brandon Wandersee :: :: brandon.wandersee@gmail.com :: ================================================================== 'A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.' - Douglas Adams ==================================================================
