 Replying to [comment:3 dersh at alum.mit.edu]:
 > Yes. I can see that.  In fact the prior command in the build includes:
 [[br]]

 > [[br]][[br]]
 > So that leads to the next questions of why that is there, and what to do
 about it?  Is "X11R6 1" not a typical X11 path?  Can Macports not deal
 with a space in the path name?  [snip]

 "X11R6 1" is not a typical X11 location. MacPorts and probably lots of the
 software you can install using MacPorts cannot deal with paths with spaces
 in the path name. It's just not usual for unix software to support this,
 so this will probably never change. I don't know why "X11R6 1" is on your
 system but others' guesses in this ticket seem plausible. Probably you
 should remove it.

 Replying to your questions in the issue description: gnuplot depends on a
 TeX program. It probably used to depend on teTeX but since teTeX is dead
 it was changed to texlive, but in such a way that if you already have
 teTeX it'll use that instead. This is intentional, so that you can select
 the TeX program that you prefer.

 Assigning ticket to maintainer of teTeX.
