        Asymptote requires a TeX/LaTeX installation; aborting now.
        You can obtain the TeX distribution for Mac OS X from
            http://www.tug.org/mactex/

  def caveats
    caveats = <<-EOS
1) This formula links the latest version of the Asymptote LaTeX and ConTeXt
   packages into:

       #{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/share/texmf

   In order for these packages to be visible to TeX compilers, the above
   directory will need to be added to the TeX search path:

       sudo tlmgr conf texmf TEXMFHOME "~/Library/texmf:#{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/share/texmf"


2) If you want to have Asymptote compiled with support for fftw or gsl
   (fast fourier transforms or the GNU Scientific Library) they must be
   manually installed first:

       brew install fftw
       brew install gsl

   They are not compiled by default because they take a long time to compile
   and they are not required by most users. (And they're not included in the
   TeX Live build of Asymptote.)


3) If you wish to use xasy, you must first install the Python Imaging
   Library (PIL):

       easy_install http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz
