Hi:

Which package in ports need to be installed in order to have .bst files installed ?

The .bst files are required when specifiying the \bibliographystyle{} in .tex files.

Thanks in advance.

thanks
Saifi Khan.

Note that you are using LaTeX, not TeX.
Any version of LaTeX should do (if I remember correctly; I don't have
it installed on my booted machines, and I haven't used BibTeX since
the days of LaTeX 2.09). These days, the print/teTeX port is
the most common way to install TeX and its common utilities.

Hi Lowell:

Thanks for your mail.

On the FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 system, latex is already installed.

Now, when I try to install teTex, it conflicts with the existing installation.

----------------------------------------------------------------
bsd# make install
===> Installing for teTeX-3.0_1

===> teTeX-3.0_1 conflicts with installed package(s):
dvips-5.76
latex2e-2003.12_1
tex-3.14159_3

They install files into the same place.
Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/print/teTeX.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Bibliographic style files are required by Bibtex and so I thought
that there would be a single independent package (like mplayer codecs)
that would need to be installed.

thanks
Saifi Khan.

Possible, but since I have teTeX installed, I can't really experiment
with how the relevant ports work. I recommend following the
directions listed, removing the conflicting ports, and just installing
teTeX. It will do everything the installed ports do, and then some.
