I downloaded the LeopardTeXFix.pkg.zip.
And installed it.
Restarted the computer.
Started Terminal and did a set.
The results for PATH are
PATH=.:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/
X11/bin:/Users/berendhasselman/bin
On entry of my .profile PATH is
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin
/usr/texbin is still in the middle
So /usr/texbin is not searched before /usr/bin.
For the time being I have renamed the four texi* things in /usr/bin to
texi*.old
