Hi, In order to get this to run properly I changed the Make file as follows
# $FreeBSD: ports/print/latex-msc/Makefile,v 1.4 2007/05/19 20:21:13 flz Exp $ PORTNAME= latex-msc PORTVERSION= 1.15 # PORTVERSION= 1.14 # PORTREVISION= 2 then manually applied the patch given here 3-4 code lines plus a header line http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/a3eff4f4ee788d93/1c839c5098ecd3d1?lnk=gst&q=msc.sty# Can these changes be made to the port as without them the LaTeX msc package crashes out every time with a message "Error: ! Missing number, treated as zero." OR change the Makefile to correctly get the current version 1.16 in the CTAN msc.zip file Either solution delivers an appropriate result - the LaTeX package (modified or latest) works correctly. If I knew enough about the port tree Makefiles I would submit the patch for that my self, but that is still out-of-my-league. My Makefiles are way simpler than the port tree efforts... cheers Murray T -- |_|0|_| "Absence of evidence |_|_|0| is not evidence of absence" |0|0|0| Carl Sagan _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
