texlive, pdfTex-bug

[eliuhe@…]

After upgrading mountain lion macports, I get the following error:

$ latex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013/MacPorts 2013_2)
 restricted \write18 enabled.

As per the ​Trac Ticket Guidelines, do not set the Priority field.

I don’t see the problem. What behavior are you expecting?

[eliuhe@…]

So, you mean that texlive is expected not to work for this macport version?

Replying to eliuhe@…:

You still haven’t explained what you mean by “work”. It works fine. Since you ran latex without arguments, it started in interactive mode and expected you to enter the path to a source file. If you hit Return at the “**” prompt without entering anything, it will explicitly tell you what it’s waiting for.

% latex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013/MacPorts 2013_2)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
**
Please type the name of your input file.

Again, what behavior are you expecting from running latex without arguments? Did you forget to pass the name of a file?

% latex foo.tex
