First, make sure that your TeXLive 2009 install is fully done, i.e. that you installed full distribution from DVD or net. If you did not do so, please let me know. Then, your PATH -- as reported by env(1) -- must look like this: PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-freebsd7:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin: /usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin The important thing is to put TeXLive executables before those installed by ports. This also means that you can safely have both TeXLive and teTeX on the same system, which is a necessity on many FreeBSD desktop systems. Also, make sure that PATH is permanently stored in /etc/csh.cshrc and/or ~/.cshrc (if you use (t)csh), like this: setenv PATH /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-freebsd7:$PATH Just to be sure, delete ~/.texlive2009 if you have it. Then, check if TeXLive executables are visible: % which tex /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-freebsd7/tex % tex -v TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009) kpathsea version 5.0.0 Copyright 2009 D.E. Knuth. [...] % ls -la `which xelatex` lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 5 Dec 12 18:24 /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-freebsd7/xelatex -> xetex and if kpsewhich sees main configuration files: % kpsewhich fmtutil.cnf /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/web2c/fmtutil.cnf Then run a basic test like % latex small2e % dvips small2e.dvi % pstopdf small2e.ps and check small2e.pdf.
