Hmmm, I did following, again: # cd /usr/ports/print/teTeX # make WITH_XDVIK=yes WITH_DVIPSK=yes # portinstall -wWf teTeX # make clean # rehash # texconfig And again, I get this text-dialog, telling me Could not find app-default file for xdvi. The program will exit now. [ OK ] Don't know what else I have to do? Anyway, this is not critical for me, since your previous email helped me solving the papersize=a4 problem. However, I would not be surprised if more people will run into this problem; I is my teTeX configuration still broken? Cheers, Rob.
