 I tried to install 'texlive', but it failed like so:
 % sudo port install texlive

 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

 ==============================================
 So I tried to istall the depedencies one by one, so I did:
 % sudo port -f install xorg-libXaw
 % sudo port -f install texlive_texmf-minimal
 % sudo port -f install texlive_texmf-full
 % sudo port -f install lzmautils
 % sudo port -f install texinfo
 which all completed without complaint.

 When I tried to install 'texi2html' I got the following error:
 % sudo port -f install texi2html--->  Building texi2html
 Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_texi2html/work/texi2html-1.80"
 && make all " returned error 2
 Command output: Making all in .

 make[1]: *** [texi2html.1] Error 1
 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

 ==============================================

 I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with the setting of this env
 variable 'PACKAGE_DATE' which keeps getting set to '18:44 January
 ./configure.ac'.

 In the executable file 'configure' I changed line 2276 from:
 PACKAGE_DATE=`"$srcdir"/mdate-sh "$srcdir"/configure.ac`

 to:
 PACKAGE_DATE=`"$srcdir"/mdate-sh`

 Then I followed the instructions in the 'INSTALL' file:
 1)make clean
 2)sh ./configure
 3)make
 4)make install
 which finished without complaint.


 So I was feeling all pleased with myself that I got it to compile, but
 when I tried to install(also tried build btw) 'texlive' again I got the
 following error:

 % sudo port -f install texlive
 --->  Installing texi2html @1.80_0
 Error: Target org.macports.install returned: Registry error: texi2html
 @1.80_0 already registered as installed.  Please uninstall it first.
 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: texlive_base texi2html
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.


 =================================================================

 So I tried to install 'texlive_base', but the sam problem:
 % sudo port -f install texlive_base
 --->  Installing texi2html @1.80_0
 Error: Target org.macports.install returned: Registry error: texi2html
 @1.80_0 already registered as installed.  Please uninstall it first.
 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: texi2html
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

 =============================================================

 Anyone know what I should do here?
 Seems like MacPorts won't accept the build of a dependency that is
 complied by me, the user, only its own builds. There's probably some
 simple thing I must do to get it to work, but it was not clear to me from
 looking at the Guide.

 Thanks in advance for your help.
