APAcite on Mac OS X (Lion) with texlive

I had to recently rebuild my Mac Book Pro (gasp!), and decided to upgrade to Lion.  The whole process was relatively painless. Files were copied back from backups, and updated from my SVN repositories, however I had troubles installing the appropriate Mac port package for the APACite classes.

sudo port install texlive-bibtex-extra

The latter yielded errors, which were logged in

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_perl_p5-text-bibtex/p5.12-text-bibtex/main.log

Since the dependency p5.12-text-bibtex could not be installed, examination of the log file provided the following clues; error: 'main' must return 'int'

The same error was reported for;

1. /opt/local//var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_perl_p5-text-bibtex/p5.12-text-bibtex/work/Text-BibTeX-0.60/btparse/tests/namebug.c
2. /opt/local//var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_perl_p5-text-bibtex/p5.12-text-bibtex/work/Text-BibTeX-0.60/btparse/tests/tex_test.c

A quick rename of void to int enabled the package to be installed without further issues.

Ubuntu apt-get error

When performing an "apt-get update" I got the following error

Reading package lists... Error!

E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 25165824. (man 5 apt.conf)

E: Error occurred while processing xxx

E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/xxx

W: Unable to munmap

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Am unsure why this is happening, but suspect it has something to do with the cache size allocated for the repositories. A quick Google search revealed a debian bug1 that helped.

sudo echo 'APT::Cache-Limit "125829120";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30cache

Seems to have fixed the problem, a quick sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade had me happily hacking away again.
