I thought I had installed XeTex with MacTex, but when I followed the

"LaTeX
Error: *** this package currently works only with XeTeX ***".
Could it be, that it is installed, but I did wrong something else?
This error message doesn't sounds like you're trying to typeset a
XeTeX specific file using some variety of LaTeX instead. So I don't
think the problem is with your installation of XeTeX.
Well, how could I find out, if it is installed, and if not: What is
the
easiest way to get it installed?
XeTeX is installed by default with the latest MacTeX. You can test it
by entering in the Terminal:
xetex --version
and it should tell you what version of XeTeX you have; if you don't
have it, it'll say "command not found".
Thanks, XeTex seems to be properly installed, this is the version:
XeTeX 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.6 (Web2C 7.5.7)
kpathsea version 3.5.7
I tried to install with the 0.995-version
of this site:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=xetex_download
but it didn´t work, I got the message: "preflight script for xetex"
Not sure what that message means on its own. But use MacTeX to install
a more current version of XeTeX if needed.
I don´t know how that works. The MacTex-installer I have is from
August 2008, and obviously too old. Should I download the whole
installer? The problm is, that when I run the installer I do not get
the possibility to install XeTex separately. There is "Ghostscript
8.62", "GUI Applications", "imageMagickConvert", some fonts, and
"TexLive". On this site
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/mac/mactex/
I find various files, but can´t figure out, which one installs XeTex.
Thank you, best*
