transfig does not install fig2dev

[link@…]

Hi,

I'm trying to install transfig, which appeared to install fine with the sudo port install transfig command. However, I can't use any of the commands (I just get a `command not found' error). Is there something I have to do to compile or run it? If I do a port contents transfig, I come up with some .gz files (listed below) - do they need to be unzipped? All the steps I've done with output are listed below.

Sorry, I'm obviously new to this. Thanks, Natasha

Run sudo port uninstall transfig, then attach the output of sudo port -d install transfig

# to make transfig and fig2dev:
# type "xmkmf", "make Makefiles", "make" then "make install"

The portfile does not do this. A debug build won't help.

Yes it does (and always did AFAICT). A missing dependency was causing fig2dev to be omitted, so this should have been fixed by r60445.
