Neville-Neil" Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org After many de/reinstalls on teTeX and various packages I had a thought: "What if my old TEXINPUTS variable is inherited when I su to root to build/install ports?" What happens is jadetex does NOT build. So, in future (is there a FAQ) when installing these packages make sure you don't have any old TEX environment variables set. Thanks to everyone for all the help. Later, George -- George V.
