No, thanks for your time.
I do not think those directories exist:
david-derbess-mac-pro:~ derbes$ ls -l ~/.texlive2007/texmf-var/fonts/tfm
ls: /Users/derbes/.texlive2007/texmf-var/fonts/tfm: No such file or
directory
david-derbess-mac-pro:~ derbes$ chown -R derbes:derbes ~/.texlive2007
chown: derbes: Invalid argument
david-derbess-mac-pro:~ derbes$
I don't know what the hell is going on. I can typeset documents all
right. Very odd.
Best wishes,
David
