That looks like base failing, not the portfile. Are you out of disk space by any chance?

Hi, Thanks for the speedy response. I agree - a malloc error should be due to the base. I have 40 GB left on the HDD with 2GB of RAM.

Not sure where to take it from here.

I note that using 'livecheck', that there is a newer version of texlive available. Perhaps this wouldn't have the same problems? Of course, I could be clutching at straws here. Any advice would be most appreciated.

cheers Kris.

Note that upgrading texlive is ticket #16492.

The error code 12 seems to indicate a lack of memory. See for example the thread of http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2008-May/010440.html I have succesfully installed texlive on a machine with 256MB RAM in the past, so I guess something else is eating your memory. You could retry while using 'top -o rprvt' to monitor your memory.
