MacPorts LaTeX and the marvosym package

After installing the MacPorts version of LaTeX, I have a problem with it: the marvosym LaTeX package does not work as expected.

Today, that I have a little free time, I will search the problem a little bit more in order to find a solution.

Do you have a solution?

I think that I found a solution.
According to this http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/macostex-archives/2007-February/028553.html post, there were two marvosym.map files. A correct one and a wrong one. Unfortunately, the wrong one was used! After making them identical (and executing the texhash and updmap commands), everything works.

The find UNIX command helped very much!
$ pwd
/opt/local/share
$ find . -name marvosym.map -exec cat {} \;
