 I am running Mac OS X 10.7.2, Xcode 4.2. I can do "port install octave-
 devel +debug"
 with no problem; however "port install octave-devel +debug +docs"
 continually fails.
 MacPorts claims I have do not have a working TeX binary tex installed
 anywhere in my
 PATH. See below.

 In fact I use TeX constantly. My PATH contains "/usr/texbin" which is a
 symbolic link to "/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-darwin" which
 contains tex. I have no idea why
 MacPorts cannot find tex in my PATH.

 This is not a Lion problem. I had the same problem porting octave-devel
 +docs in
 OS X 10.6.

 Here is the error:
 {{{

 :info:build You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere

 want to use
 :info:build this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it)
 or change
 :info:build your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do).  See the
 --help
 :info:build output for more details.

 :info:build For information about obtaining TeX, please see

 command:
