I downloaded it but I do not know what to do. As they are binaries I supposed I have not to compile anything. Should I simply put the folder in the right place? The Readme is quite vague. I put it in usr/local, tried to run from terminal the texexec bin but obtained: apples-Computer:/ apple$ /usr/local/tex/texmf-macosx/bin/texexec --h /usr/local/tex/texmf-macosx/bin/texexec: line 2: texmfstart: command not found What have I to do to use the most recent distro from pragma? More, I really cannot understand what's going on when I invoke "typeset context" form inside TeXShop. Luckily, something happens and I have my nice pdfs. This is default engine as stated by TeXShop. /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current If I go there, I find many binaries, and there's a texexec. If I invoke it directly form terminal I obtain: apples-Computer:/ apple$ /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin6.8/texexec -h `texexec.pl' not found. If I invoke texexec from terminal, default is located in sw/bin. It's 3.1 version: apples-Computer:/ apple$ which texexec /sw/bin/texexec apples-Computer:/ apple$ texexec -h TeXExec 3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002 (I know virtually nothing of bash, I grabbed some commands here and there) I'm getting a bit depressed... -a- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

It's >3.1 version: Danger! Danger! (Sorry, that's a bit cruel and extreme.) However, it seems that you, once upon a time, installed the Fink package system, and tried to get TeX along with it. Fink is notoriously "greedy" in the way it sets the path, and can live a long time on your system after you have forgotten it exists. If you don't use any fink-installed packages, I suggest completely obliterating the /sw tree. If you can't get away with that, I suggest going through and deleting all tex-related binaries from the /sw/bin tree or making sure /sw/bin is inserted into your $PATH last, and not first. (for those watching from the sidelines, Fink <http:// fink.sourceforge.net/> is a dpkg system for the Mac, but I have long disapproved of the way it goes about its business on people's systems) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

I had Fink. I suspect that the finked TeX derived form ancient lilypond, as I have not installed it explicitly via Fink. Now, Lily is no more related to TeX, and I have ImageMagick form Gierben, so I'm obliterating the sw tree.
