A good point.
Using Matthew's reminder of the existence of find-executable-path (which
I've used before, but was too focused on "system" here), how ab
What happens if /Library/Tex/texbin is present - but not in the path?

I recommend `find-executable-path` instead of `system` plus "which".

what about this?
#lang racket/base
(require racket/system

I get "10" or "11" respectively, and I believe it will run on older

The system-type approach looks like this (it ignores the optional third
version counter):
(match (regexp-match #px".*Kernel Version ([\\d]+[.][\\d]+).*"
(system-type 'machine))
[(list _ version-str) (string->number version-str)]
[_ #f])
The expression returns 15.0 on my machine.
You could parse the result of `(system-type 'machine)`, but you might
just as well use a little `ffi/unsafe` binding to get
`NSAppKitVersionNumber`:
#lang racket/base
(require ffi/unsafe)
(define appkit
(ffi-lib "/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/AppKit"))
(define NSAppKitVersion
Hi All,
The function system-type can be used to detect the system type.
Is there a function that returns the version of the operating system?
Use case: The paths to LaTeX has changed on El Capitan,
which makes it difficult to choose a default path, that works
for all.
