If someone knows > how to avoid the duplicity, please do chime in Hi Patrick, Just to say that "duplicity" usually means something like "deceitful and dishonest behaviour" - duplication is what you want to avoid! I only mention it because this is a slip that could get you into serious trouble in the wrong context!! :-) You are right about the ports tree and my way round this has been to edit the relevant port Makefie and simply remove the dependency under BUILD_DEPENDS, LIB_DEPENDS and RUN_DEPENDS. Most things then find TeXLive and build themselves nicely after that. There may be an automated way of doing this but I haven't found it yet. atb Glyn
