LaTeX2e is an extension of the original LaTex, which is an extension of TeX. Install LaTeX2e, NOT 209. I made this mistake myself. A better way would be to try the "tetex" distribution that is in ports. It sounds like a better tex distribution. I haven't tried it myself, mainly because of diskspace concerns. > Sorry to vent frustration, I've never had a good experience with TeX. It's complicated, and unnecessarily so.
