I am having issues compiling in TeXShop since upgrading to El Capitan. I have searched extensively for a fix, but none of the recommended settings are fixing my problem. Here is a screenshot of my settings in TeXShop:
These settings produce the error: "/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://www.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."
Additionally, I already tried reinstalling MacTex to no effect. TeXShop is fully updated.
I tried compiled from the command line the simple document (named practice.tex):
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Hi
\end{document}
I tried
/usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/*/pdflatex practice.tex
and got:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015) (preloaded >format=pdflatex) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (/usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-darwin/pdflatex LaTeX2e <2015/01/01> Babel <3.9l> and hyphenation patterns for 79 languages loaded.
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

l.1 ?
I then tried pdflatex practice.tex
and got "command not found."
echo $PATH
returns:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-darwin
kpsewhich -var TEXMFMAIN
returns "command not found."
which pdflatex
returns nothing.
ls -l /Library/TeX/texbin
gives
total 8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 29 Nov 29 21:48 texbin -> Distributions/Programs/texbin
ls /usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/
gives:
universal-darwin x86_64-darwin
/usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/*/pdflatex <tex file>
andpdflatex <tex file>
to make sure it works in both cases.echo $PATH
would be useful, as wouldkpsewhich -var TEXMFMAIN
andwhich pdflatex
.ls -l /Library/TeX/texbin
give? And what doesls /usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/
give?
