texlive_base fails to install

[andilipa@…]

Hello,

Over the past 6+ days I have tried upgrading asymptote/tex without any success. Two weeks ago I had no problems installing asymptote 1.56 and texlive. But then both texlive and asymptote were upgraded, and my attempts to upgrade to the current version fail for texlive_base.

I have attached a file with the error message. I am working on Mac OS X 10.4.11.

Any help will be appreciated.

Best, Dilip

I am also experiencing this problem on Mac OS X 10.4.11. I don't know if it is relevant, but I recently switched to using the macport x11 libs.

After some searching, I think this is NOT related to X11 libraries. Those are just warnings. The error is "multiple definitions of symbol _hash_create" in libkpathsea.a and libc.dylib. This thread seems relevant:

​http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2006-December/011599.html

If I follow correctly, the -lc needs to be after libkpathsea.la in the link line, as the -lm currently is. I don't know how to make it do that...

I don't know enough to say what is going on, but R also fails to build/install. It fails at the point of installing glib2. The final error is that glib2, jpeg, pango, and tiff failed to build. It is odd that only two weeks ago, this installed without any hitch.

This is not likely related. Please report this separately on the mailing list or as a separate ticket if you are sure it is an unreported bug.

The attached additional patch to the xdvik configure file and the attached patch to the Portfile worked for me. This is just a hack that I figured out. This bug should probably be reported upstream so that the tex developers can fix it correctly.

[andilipa@…]

Thank you very much! The fix you suggest works out.

Thanks, this works for me. I applied your changes in r46244, except I did not add the line "use_parallel_build no" because that's not relevant to this ticket. I filed it as #18303.

I'm leaving the ticket open and assigned to texlive_base's maintainer so that he can inform the upstream developers.

After sync, still does not build. As a result, dirac does not build. And it breaks FFmpeg compilation. I would appreciate that you deactivate libdirac in ffmpeg-devel until the dust comes down. Attached is a patch.

Sorry, sudo port -v clean solved this issue.
