I wanted to use Latex, with the port for TeXLive print/texlive-base but it came
up with this error:

configure: error: Sorry, can not preprocess <lj_arch.h>
=== configuring in luajit failed


I tried a couple of things and was able to eventually get it to work by editing
the Makefile to add an argument:

 --disable-luajittex /

as the first line in the CONFIGURE_ARGS section.

I have been advised to submit a problem report. I am not sure if disabling
LuaTex is the right thing to do or if there are other (and possibly better)
options to get Tex/ Latex working on a PPC architecture.
