Where exactly is this file to be created? How from terminal? Or by
hand?
in your home directory, from the terminal with the line given below,
or by hand if you prefer, although saving a file as .bash_profile
might be impossible from the GUI.
echo 'export
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/teTex/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.4:${HOME}/
bin:/sw/bin' >> .bash_profile
This returns nothing at all.
No, and that is correct. What it should return is send to the file --
that is redirection in action. Open the .bash_profile file in your
favourite text editor and see what's inside.
(single quotes are important, it prints the right string, and
instead of sending it to the terminal, it is redirected to the file
.bash_profile).
I am learning a lot but am not sure about these things.
If you really want to get into these things, I can recommend the Mac
OS X in a Nutshell book from O'Reilly, although you should probably
wait for the Panther/Tiger release -- that one should discuss bash,
the current release still assumes tcsh.
Perhaps I should start at the beginning. Again.
I don't think so, I think you already have things installed.
If I want to install Tex from TexLlive I open the terminal and
drag"install-pkj.sh" into the terminal window and hit return?
I end up with a menu for the installation of Tex.
To keep this as short as possible I hit "D"
In this window I hit "1"
(Seems OK, although I do not recall the exact menu options ...)
In this window I change the directory to
"usr/local/teTex/"
OK
(should this in fact be /usr/local/teTex/bin?)
NO! tex is a lot more than just the binaries. One of the installed
directories is bin under your specified directory.
OOPS. There is no bin file in the teTex file??? /usr/local/teTex/NO bin
