First, this issue has been brought up here in a different way 3 years ago, but there seems to be no solution, yet. [1] I use Latex for documentation and presentations of my work. My problem is that I still haven't found a working DVI-Viewer in FreeBSD without installing the whole KDE-dependencies (KDVI). Latex compiles into dvi files. So either I use teTex (as the thread [1] recommends) but which is not supported anymore [2] and cannot use XDVI, or I install the latex-package and will not be able to use other Latex-tools like dvips and cannot print or share it. To make it short: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===> Installing for xdvi-pl20_3 ===> xdvi-pl20_3 conflicts with installed package(s): teTeX-base-3.0_12 teTeX-texmf-3.0_5 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFAIK both packages want to install the file /usr/local/bin/latex. So my questions are: Is there a way to bent the dependency of XDVI on teTex in general (maybe this is a developers issue, not porters - don't know) or is there another small Viewer I may use instead? The other way would be much more difficult, I think. Has anyone here a workaround for this? Is there a solution in the very near future? Thanks a lot Holger [1]http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=584280+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-questions/20050522.freebsd-questions [2]http://www.tug.org/tetex/
