Sorry, I can't help more here. You obviously have a solid Unix  
background, I don't: you're using terms such as macosx screen version,  
macports screen version, termcap, iTerm, and one of our attachment is  
called gnuscreen, but these terms mean absolutely nothing to me.

In any case, the fact that kpsewhich doesn't work means your TeX setup  
is seriously damaged.
