Hi,
In order to get this to run properly I changed the Make file as follows
# $FreeBSD: ports/print/latex-msc/Makefile,v 1.4 2007/05/19 20:21:13 flz Exp $
PORTNAME= latex-msc
PORTVERSION= 1.15
# PORTVERSION= 1.14
# PORTREVISION= 2
then manually applied the patch given here 3-4 code lines plus a header line
http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/a3eff4f4ee788d93/1c839c5098ecd3d1?lnk=gst&q=msc.sty#
Can these changes be made to the port as without them the LaTeX msc package
crashes out every time with a message
"Error: ! Missing number, treated as zero."
OR
change the Makefile to correctly get the current version 1.16 in the CTAN
msc.zip file
Either solution delivers an appropriate result - the LaTeX package (modified
or latest) works correctly.
If I knew enough about the port tree Makefiles I would submit the patch for
that my self, but that is still out-of-my-league. My Makefiles are way
simpler than the port tree efforts...
cheers
Murray T
