texlive_base build fails with "Multiple definitions of symbol" errors

[ozak@…]

I'm trying to use macports to install octave and I have the following two problems.

1. The program downloads and installs a whole bunch of stuff, some of which I already have, e.g. texlive, X11. I'm not sure why.
2. Once it downloads texlive-base, the installation fails giving the following message:

   --->  Building texlive_base

I appreciate any help.

Replying to ozak@…:

1. The program downloads and installs a whole bunch of stuff, some of which I already have, e.g. texlive, X11. I'm not sure why.

If you mean you have these items installed outside of MacPorts, that is by design; see the FAQ entry.

2. Once it downloads texlive-base, the installation fails giving the following message:

That error would appear to be the same as in ticket #18166.

As indicated by blb, this is a duplicate of #18166.
