Yes, I rebuild them whenever a new version comes out, so about twice a day... My own experience is: it's perfectly smooth, and if there were problems, they weren't specific to the Mac. If you want the formats to be copied into the system-wide tree (that's /usr/local/teTeX/texmf/ texmf.local/web2c) instead of your personal ~/Library/texmf/ and are using the new texmfstart method, you should invoke the script from a root shell: sudo su texmfstart texexec --make --all Other than that, I can't think of anything special.

When the latest version was not in the latter, I got format mismatch errors and then nada. I am not sure why this happened, since I had not done anything other than run Gerben’s i-Installer.
