That "full" appended to texlive means nothing and gives an error on a
sane system as there's no "full" port. You seem to have missed a plus
sign for specifying "full" variant.

Python26 destroot returned an error thus breaking your port command,
the reason why it did was in the log file referred by terminal output.


Yes, the log file was gone after I retried successfully, but when it was still there I did a cat of it and cut and pasted the screen display into a text file which is what I posted.

I have since discovered the +full variant and tried that after a successful install of texlive. That has been a partial success; it stalls at various sites and I must then stop the port process and restart. So far that has worked once. The second time stalled again and I have yet to restart for a third attempt.

        I'll now try again.

It stalled for the third time. I went directly to http://distfiles.macports.org/texlive-fonts-extra/ and tried to download from the site. My download stopped at 85Mb on a 111Mb file. I then paused the download after waiting about ten minutes for it to resume by itself. The resume button resumed the download and the file size to be downloaded changed from 111Mb to 158Mb.

        What is that all about?

It has stalled again at 133Mb of 158 Mb. Hitting the pause and then the resume was unsuccessful this time. The browser download window announces 'Unknown time remaining - 133 of 158 MB (0 bytes/sec)' and no changes upon repeat stops and resumes.

It would appear there is an error in the composition of the file 'texlive-fonts-extra-13989.tar.bz2' or in the surface of the storage media.

        I'll try again another day.

        Shalom,
