Isn't there a way to add a PATH to the 'which latex' variable? I'm pretty sure that Charlse has TeX through the macports TeXlive packages because of this (that he posted): $ sudo texhash texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf/ls-R... texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/ls-R... texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf-var/ls-R... texhash: Done. $ And this (now there is a macports texlive_full package if you have space): $ port installed | grep texlive texlive_base @2007_1 (active) texlive_texmf-minimal @2007_0 (active) $ And this (so I think the needed LaTeX packages are available): /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls It just seems to me that TeXlive has changed their paths and that hasn't affected the system properly (I'm a little oblivious to path stuff :-}). Does running 'latex' on a '.tex' file work in a shell? Even if it doesn't I think TeX is installed and Charlse only needs to add /opt/local/share to his LyX paths and LyX will work even if straight "latex" doesn't. Which brings me back to my first question isn't there a way to add /opt/local/share to the 'which latex' PATH? Since I think his TeX distribution is fine. /Bob
