compilation of port 'latex' fails repeatedly

Thu Jun 19 13:12:13 PDT 2003

I have tried to install latex on my new FreeBSD system, but it fails 
miserably. All I do is type "$ make install distclean" in the latex 
directory of the port tree (/usr/ports/print/latex). This usually does 
the trick, right? 

Well, in this particular case, all I get is the lousy log file 
/usr/ports/print/latex/work/base/latex.log and the installation exits 
or something. How can I mend this broken machine?
