I have the complete MacTeX 2019 installed, which includes TeXLive 2019, and its tex-related binaries are first on my PATH.
Some MacPorts ports use various tex binaries and libraries, wither during build or runtime. So when I installed those, automatically the requisite MacPorts tex-related ports were installed, too. This is the case, for example, with octave (uses texinfo, texlive-basic, texlive-latex, texlive-fonts-recommended Hence I now have two separate TeX distributions installed, which seems utterly wasteful. The one I want to keep is MacTeX/TeXLive. Can the various Macports tex ports be uninstalled without breaking other, currently installed ports using them? And without intefering with rebuilding those tex-using MacPorts ports when upgrading? —- Murray Eisenberg murrayeisenb...@gmail.com 503 King Farm Blvd #101 Home (240)-246-7240 Rockville, MD 20850-6667 Mobile (413)-427-5334
