texlive_base failed to build

[David Epstein]

I'm aware that there is a bug report out on texlive_base, but is there a
work-around? I'm rather desperate, as I stupidly trashed my copy of tetex
before trying to install texlive. As a result none of the tex family
programs are available to me, and I use them all the time. I tried the
version of the final command you see below at the end of my error message,
that I found in one of the trac files, but it just reported multiple symbol
definitions.

Could someone help me out here? I'm out of my depth. Thanks very much.
Should I start again with a port clean command?

In desperation, I downloaded MacTex (not via MacPorts), and the installation
seemed to go OK. But when I tried to use it, I got an error message that
/opt/local/bin/pdflatex didn't exist. I was surprised by this unexpected
interaction between MacPorts and MacTex. I then tried "port search pdflatex"
and was told "texshop". But when I successfully did a MacPorts port of
texshop, pdflatex still wasn't there. How can I find a port which will give
me a copy of /opt/local/bin/pdflatex?


Here is the error I got from trying to build texlive_base
