>Environment:

	Freshly installed teTeX. Trying to use better xdvi then the
	one that comes with teTeX.

>Description:

	The xdvi that comes with teTeX seems to be missing some features
	(such as magnification). So I built xdvik -- complaint about missing
	fonts. So does xdvi-20 freshly built. Go on to build LaTeX. Build
	fails:

	===>  Building for latex2e-98.01
	(cd /usr/ports/print/latex/work/latex/base; tex --ini unpack.ins)
	This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1)
	! I can't find file `--ini'.
	<*> --ini 
		  unpack.ins

>How-To-Repeat:

	See Description

>Fix:
	
	I guess, I should do the following:
		blow the teTeX port
		install tex port
		install latex port
	see if I need teTeX (if LyX tells me some functionality is
	missing) and if I do:
		install teTeX port

	Not sure if this will help... This "inter-(La)TeX" dependencies
	seem to be complicated. Perhaps, pkg/DESCR files of each port
	should contain descriptions of The Right Things to do...
