<br>
That looks pretty good for now; the Fink stuff won't be searched.<br>
<br>
I want to check to see if you are using bash as your shell in Terminal. What does<br>
<br>
echo $SHELL<br>
<br>
return?<br>
<br>
I'm wondering why /usr/texbin is in the PATH when MacTeX-2015 should have changed that to /Library/TeX/texbin. First see that texbin exists in /Library/TeX; Click on the Go Menu in Finder and click `Go to Folder…' (Shift-Cmd-G) typing /Library/TeX in the line and pressing Return and seeing of texbin is installed. Let us know if it's there and we'll fix up the PATH problem.<br>
<br>
Incidentally, you might try to install the Setup-2015.pkg in any case and see if that changes the result of<br>
<br>
echo $PATH<br>
<br>
to include /Library/TeX/texbin rather than /usr/texbin.<br>
<br>
By the way, this really has to be done if you ever want to update to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) once it's released.<br>
<br>
Once this is fixed up there is no need to do anything with the FINK material.<br>
