Hmmm, I did following, again:

   # cd /usr/ports/print/teTeX
   # make WITH_XDVIK=yes WITH_DVIPSK=yes
   # portinstall -wWf teTeX
   # make clean
   # rehash
   # texconfig

And again, I get this text-dialog, telling me

    Could not find app-default file for xdvi.
    The program will exit now.
           [ OK ]

Don't know what else I have to do?

Anyway, this is not critical for me, since your previous email
helped me solving the papersize=a4 problem.

However, I would not be surprised if more people will run into
this problem; I is my teTeX configuration still broken?

Cheers,
Rob.
