texlive-xetex: xetex is stymied

[raphael@…]

When running xelatex I get

This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-0.9997.5 (TeX Live 2011/MacPorts 2011_4)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

Even running fmtutil-sys --all, which completes without any obvious errors, does not help. I found a  bug report that says that this might be an incompatibility with zlib 1.2.6.

[dports@…]

Hmm, it works for me. Let me see if I can reproduce on a different system...

[raphael@…]

I saw this behavior on Leopard (powerpc and i386) and Snow Leopard (i386 and x86_64).

[harish.mlists@…]

I see the same problem too on Lion (x86_64).

[harish.mlists@…]

Cc Me!

[dports@…]

Yes, I see it now too. I'm testing a possible fix.

[dports@…]

xetex should no longer be stymied as of r89696.

[Sylvain.Soliman+macports@…]

Replying to dports@…:

xetex should no longer be stymied as of r89696.

I can confirm that the fix indeed solves the stymification issue here (Snow Leopard x86_64). Thanks for the quick response.

[harish.mlists@…]

The fix works for me too (Lion x86_64). Thank you.
