Interesting. The terminal returns cant find PDFLatex.

I went to /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin6.8/pdflatex and
there it is PDF Latex.

If I click on it I get:

**

And if I enter pdflatex I get:

**pdflatex

I can't find the format file `pdfetex.efmt'!

Now I can see pdflatex there but the terminal cant nor can TexShop. Any
ideas?

Howdy,

Looks like a path problem. What is the result of

echo $PATH

in Terminal? Have you tried to add more than one ``version'' of TeX; e.g.,
TeXLive or Fink as well as gwTeX? This can lead to path problems.

Good Luck,

Well I just don't know what is left. Perhaps I should just go back to OS10.2.7?

I have tried everything I can think of.

Only one version, is that just 'echo $PATH' ? This gives;

George-Ghios-Computer:~ georgeghio$ echo $PATH
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
George-Ghios-Computer:~ georgeghio$

Got no idea from this. Do you have OS 10.3, if so what is your path?

TIA

George
