Installing pkgsrc/print/teTeX-bin while my PATH does not have my
${LOCALBASE}/bin:
/usr/pkg/bin/texconfig dvips paper letter
texconfig: binary kpsewhich not found. Please set up your PATH correctly
*** Error code 1
This is the post-install target I believe.
Maybe patches/patch-ap should be modified to add ${PREFIX}/bin to PATH or
to individual kpsewhich usage -- and then post-process with sed to get
PREFIX set.
I don't think PATH should be set in the pkgsrc build itself for this,
because later use of the texconfig would still fail. (Note: it is
suggested to be ran in the MESSAGE +DISPLAY.)
My workaround was to fix the PATH in the texconfig (before installed) to
prefix it with my /opt/pkg/bin:
