tex-whizzytex @1.3.1 Configure failure: "Cannot run initex with any of the formats: latex latex"

[pytnik89@…]

Have mac lion 10.7.3, xcode 4.3, texlive @2011(macports), clang @3.1; after port install tex-whizzytex obtain a configure error. What is wrong? Texlive? Initex?

First, consider upgrading from Xcode 4.3 to 4.3.2.

Next, since this was not a clean attempt, please "sudo port clean tex-whizzytex" and try again. If it fails again, attach the new main.log.

I did as you say - update xcode to 4.3.2(clang too)-but log are similar(equal)

input file used by the configure test

Configure is checking if running initex '&'latex '\input{dummy}' works (the input file being the attachment I've added), and that is failing (exit code 1). I'm not sure why.

In 88341a7df66aa4d7f9f7ee1ba95c13d907dd4701/macports-ports (master):

tex-whizzytex: update to 1.3.6

Also avoid use of deprecated initex, and use notes.
