[OS X TeX] TeXLive 2006 (MacTeX) is not detected...

[Alessandro Andretta]

I am using the path /usr/local/texprograms and it works with both  
gwTeX and TeXLive.
This way TeX should choose your default distribution, as defined by  
the System Preference Panel.
But I am not an expert at all, so other might have a better  
suggestion/explanation.

Greetings,
