[OS X TeX] TeX problem on Mac BookPro

[David Watson]

You might want to try the command-line "sudo mktexlsr" as a first  
stab at your problem. You might additionally want to move your local  
additions to /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local unless i am way off  
base here, in which case I am sure to be reprimanded shortly.

At any rate, if you move your own macros to the texmf.local  
subdirectory, things tend to work as they did in the old days (except  
you don't have user-specific overrides to the original packages). I  
think something must have happened with kpathsea over the last couple  
of years, and now, for some reason, it doesn't work with our new  
systems.

I hope you find a better answer, and that you can continue your work  
until someone more knowledgeable gives us both a clue.
