Like others have noted, after upgrading to El Capitan, there was a required reconfiguration for MacTeX
. I completed the fix specified here: https://tug.org/mactex/UpdatingForElCapitan.pdf. So, I changed the Path settings for (pdf)TeX from /usr/texbin
to /Library/TeX/texbin
in TeXShop
preferences, and I changed /usr/texbin/pdflatex
to /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex
and /usr/texbin/xelatex
to /Library/TeX/ texbin/xelatex
, in BibDesk
preferences.
However, if I try to compile a document, I still get the following error report:
/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex does not exist. TeXShop is a front end for TeX, but you also need a TeX distribution. Perhaps such a distribution was not installed or was removed during a system upgrade. If so, go to http://tug.org/MacTeX and follow the instructions to (re)install MacTeX. A less likely possibility is that a tool path is incorrectly configured in TeXShop preferences. This can happen if you are using the macports or fink distributions
I’m now not sure if I should really re-install, or am I missing some bit of the fix.
I also tried going to terminal and doing which pdftex
, but it returned nothing. Reinstall?
ls -l /usr/local/texlive
in Terminal to see if TL 2015 is installed; if not, you'll have to install it or follow the instructions for TL 2014 and earlier in Herb's UpdatingForElCapitan.pdf document. – Adam Maxwell Oct 28 '15 at 5:47ls -l /usr/local/texlive
returns:total 0 drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 680 Oct 20 2014 2013
. So, is the best thing to do just go ahead an install MacTeX? – bozidarka Oct 28 '15 at 5:49
