octave install fails

[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:

I appreciate any help.
