[OS X TeX] Re: BBedit and LaTeX integration under Leopard

[David Airey]

Dear Maarten,

Using your new scripts, I get the following from the Terminal:

AireyDC:~ dairey$ /Users/dairey/Library/ShellScripts/CompileTeX-engine  
-pdflatex '/Users/dairey/Desktop/tex test/letter.tex'
The tex executable was not found.
Trying some emergency repairs, but
you really should fix your environment.

ANd then I got Preview to show the PDF:

AireyDC:~ dairey$ /Users/dairey/Library/ShellScripts/CompileTeX-engine  
-show '/Users/dairey/Desktop/tex test/letter.tex'
The tex executable was not found.

So, you think my Tex installation is not correct, but I've not done  
anything more than install via Mac TeX 2007, assuming their default  
set up was reasonable.

Aside from noisy complaints, your scripts work! Should I worry about  
my installation? Should users of Mac Tex 2007 worry?

Cheers,

-Dave
