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;
<minimal path>

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

I would hazard a guess and say that TeXLive is installing a startup script for a different shell than you are using.

Is there any reason you need TeXLive? If it's not configuring properly then it can be a long, tedious, and complicated process getting everything working.

I would highly, stronger, most definitely recommend Gerben Weirda's TeX distribution. You can get it by following the instructions in the first box here:
<http://www.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/~will/texstart/>

It's designed to install TeX with a minimum of fuss and will almost certainly work first time. (unless you've been messing with ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist...)

Good luck

Will

Well Will It's like this. I live in the bush in central Victoria, Australia My download speed is around 2Kb/second. My connection is sus at best and a twelve hour + download is... well not likely succeed. I can get access to a broadband connection if you know where I can get the Tex file to put on disk.
