error after yosemite installation

error after yosemite installation

[Ricardo Pietrobon]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1137 bytes --]

everything was working perfectly unitl I installed yosemite (i know, I 
know) and now when I try to convert from markdown to pdf i get the 
following message:

pandoc: pdflatex: createProcess: runInteractiveProcess: exec: inappropriate 
type (Not a directory)


here is what i tried and didn't work:

1. reinstalled pandoc, with the binary from the pandoc site as well as 
through brew
2. reinstalled maktex, which includes using FixMacTeX2014.pkg
3. deleted the old /usr/bin/texbin and rebuilt the symbolic link

any thoughts on what the problem might be?

thanks

Re: error after yosemite installation

Strange.  Lots of the files in /usr/texbin are scripts that
start with exec, so that would be my best guess about where
the problem lies.  But I have no idea what the problem is or
how to fix it.  Is anyone else using pandoc on yosemite?

yes, works fine for me. I think I'm still using the pdflatex from 
MacTex-2013:
$ pdflatex -v
pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013)

@Ricardo, does pdflatex work on its own? It should:

cheers

Mauro, it does work on its own and with other apps:

➜  ~  pdflatex -v
pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.15 (TeX Live 2014)

the problem is really just when trying to do the conversion through pandoc.
btw, I just tried it on another mac with Yosemite and it does work, but the
error persists on my laptop. I am puzzled, the only clue I have is that it
all started after Yosemite

Just to let you know that you are not alone!

Installed pandoc today and it runs fine for tex, html and word documents. 
pdf documents throw the exact same error you are seeing.

Quick follow up to this - I noticed that pandoc was working fine in Rstudio 
for conversion of R markdown. If you mimic the command used by RStudio to 
generate the pdf on the command line, it works fine.

pandoc SCG.protocol.md --to latex --from 
markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash-implicit_figures 
--output SCG.protocol.pdf --filter pandoc-citeproc --template 
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/rmarkdown/rmd/latex/default.tex 
--highlight-style tango --latex-engine /usr/texbin/pdflatex --variable 
'geometry:margin=1in' --bibliography SCG.protocol.bib

Not sure if this provides any more insight to the original issue.

Try just using one of their extra options at a time, to see if you can
isolate which one matters.

Hi there

What solved the issue for me (I just installed all the things for the first 
time), was just to specify the --latex-engine.

So for a simple conversion of markdown to pdf you can use:
pandoc source --output output.pdf --latex-engine /usr/texbin/pdflatex

Hope that helps if you came here by search like me ;)

Bin thanks to @Ben

Cheers,
Chris

Oh no, I'm getting this error now. I get it for both pdflatex and xelatex 
engines:

pandoc: xelatex: createProcess: runInteractiveProcess: exec: inappropriate

I was running Pandoc with absolutely no problems on OS X Yosemite. What 
started producing this error is that I was trying to add a path to the 
$PATH variable by editing .bash_profile to this:

export 
> PATH="/bin/bash:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:$PATH"
>

 This was a bad idea, as it ended up removing lots of additions from $PATH 
which I had to put back in again by hand (eg the Python3.4 path had to be 
re-added). So, this is $PATH after my attempt to fix it:

/bin/bash:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/texbin
>
 
The texbin is in the path, so pdflatex and xelatex are both discoverable:

which xelatex
>
> /usr/texbin/xelatex
>

 But I've completely broken Pandoc. 

Presumably, there's something still missing from my $PATH variable, and if 
I could restore my $PATH to what it was previously, it would work again. 
Can anyone see anything obvious that's missing? Could someone running 
Pandoc on Yosemite type echo $PATH and let me know what they get?

thanks.

Just a quick update. Weirdly, pandoc works fine when I call it from Sublime 
Text (using the pandown plugin), I just can't call it from the Terminal.

On OS X, the value of PATH isn't the same in the GUI and in Terminal. So
it's not really weird that Sublime finds Pandoc and Terminal does not.
(Though IME it's usually the other way around, GUI programs have a more
limited PATH setting than bash in Terminal.)

Is there a way to find out what Sublime's value of PATH is? If so, you
can compare it to the PATH in Terminal.

I've been googling this for an hour and have absolutely no idea how to work 
out what the ST3 GUI path is. (it seems Apple keeps changing how the GUI 
path is established with each release). Almost every hit you see is about 
how to add a path to the GUI path (ie the assumption that the GUI path is 
more limited and isn't working). No one has considered the possibility that 
it's the Terminal that is broken and the Finder-launched app is working 
fine.

One mistake, and my entire workflow is broken. It's tempting to roll back 
to a TimeMachine backup. But that seems a bit extreme just to rediscover 
what my $PATH variable was.

Re: error after yosemite installation

[John MacFarlane]

How did you install pandoc?

If you used the binary package installer, then the binary is
in /usr/local/bin.

If you used cabal, then it is in ~/Library/Haskell/bin or
possibly ~/.cabal/bin.

Hope that is enough to solve your problem!

Your PATH shouldn't contain /bin/bash - that's a file, not a
directory.  (And that sort of makes sense of the error
messages you were getting.)  Try getting rid of that from
your PATH.

(Disregard my previous message; I see that the problem is
not the pandoc path.)

Removing bin/bash from the PATH worked, thank you for spotting that. That's a relief! I had to remove it from a couple of places, from ~/.bash_profile, and from /private/etc/paths . So perhaps others who have seen this error could try echo $PATH in the terminal and see if there's anything there that shouldn't be.
