I had an interesting time recently trying to share my texmf tree with
other users. I gave rw permissions to group and r to everyone and
tried:
- Making an alias to another user in Finder as root
- sudo ln -s ~/Library/texmf /Users/other/Library/texmf
- hardwiring /Users/andy/Library/texmf into texmf.cnf
none of which worked - what did though, was moving my tree to
~/.texmf and hardwiring that location in texmf.cnf
While this satisfies my needs on a home machine, it's hardly optimal
- I've probably missed something really obvious, but I can't see why
the ln -s didn't work, as the user could see and cat the files, but
not teTeX ?
Thanks.
