Description bmah 2001-02-27 17:40:01 UTC 
The print/teTeX port seems to have some problems installing if certain
of the environment variables used by TeX are set.

Fix: 

I think the best thing to do would be to try to sanitize the environment
as a part of the build process, but I'm not sure what variables need
this treatment.
How-To-Repeat: 
On my system (for some reason), I have the PKFONTS environment variable
set.  A "make install" for the teTeX port will hang after printing the
"Generating temporary packing list" phase.  I think (based on examining
the process table) that one of the texconfig invocations in
post-install is hanging or waiting for input.  Removing the definition
of this variable results in a successful install.

I've installed this port a few times in the past week without problems. 
 It may have been updated since you posted this, can you verify the 
problem still exists?
