[OS X TeX] First iteration of performance results

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

maybe someone could help me.
There seems to be something fundamentally wrong on my system (10.3.9) 
- see below please:

Welcome to Darwin!

steffen:   ~
$ pbpaste > tex-perf

created the requested file based on 
http://tug.org/texshowcase/tex-perf in my home directory

steffen:   ~
$ sudo time ./tex-perf
./tex-perf: Permission denied
         0.00 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys

ok.

steffen:   ~
$ chmod +x tex-perf

steffen:   ~
$ sudo time ./tex-perf
./tex-perf: No such file or directory
         0.00 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys

?

steffen:   ~
$ fmtutil --byfmt pdflatex >/dev/null
fmtutil: format directory `/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c' 
is not writable.

???


Is this the reason for the troubles? What has happened?
