[OS X TeX] running asymptote within TeXShop

Mon Nov 20 16:46:25 CET 2017

Aha! With \listfiles I found that, for reasons unknown, I had an older version of asymptote.sty, from 2011, in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/asymptote.

Removing that whole folder allowed use of the current version, asymptote.sty 2016/11/26 v1.33. Which allowed successful typesetting.

Thank you!

>>> The Sample/tex file found in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/Asymptote (not directly in the Inactive folder) is quite old and it appears that `asy` has changed a bit over that time period and is having a problem compiling one of the figures (the one in sampleAsy-2). Since that failed the asmyptotemk engine quits.

YOu might want to copy that whole folder to your desktop and use that file along with the associated platexmkrc file in that folder and typeset it directly.
