New texlive port

Hello, first of all thanks for the effort to create a new port with texlive since the old tetex port did not work any more on Crux 2.8. After installing this biggest pkgfile ever (1.7G) I am a bit clueless where to start. I wanted to test it with a simple Latex source file but there is no "latex" command in the port included. I have tried various commands like e.g. pdftex without success. They all output errors. pdftex writes: kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdftex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: //texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `pdftex.fmt'! What am I missing? How can I compile my latex sources with texlive? Regards Markus
