Hi George-- Your last message reminded me of PR 25419, in which I described a similar problem when I tried to install teTeX. It's still open: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/25419 If we knew what set of variables caused problems like this, we could at least make the port(s) output a warning of some sort before the build stage. Bruce. PS. I wonder if I can change the originator of a PR...that email address has been invalid for me for almost a year now.
