[OS X TeX] Let me ask you a question.

Thu Sep 3 06:26:45 CEST 2009

I'm sorry, but, I don't understand what you are asking, repetitively  
as follows...

Please, let me know what you want me to do?
Should I send you "the submissions", which says that "you can surely  
send me News or kind of information by mail~"?

Well,

I GRANT THAT YOU CAN SEND ME THE NEWS AND INFORMATION~

Is this the submission that you've been saying?
I think it's a ridiculous process.
I've already asked you send me the information about the correlations  
between the TeX and brand new OS, SnowLeopard.
Besides, English is not my mother tongue, give me more easy  
instructions.
Forgive my rudeness if you feel uncomfortable.

Snow Leopard seems to have made a change to the way the locate
database is generated. For example, the indispensible Locator program
(version 0.73) is no longer able to generate or regenerate the
database from within the program. The only way I've found to do it is

cd /usr/libexec
sudo ./locate.updatedb

Leopard used to allow simply

sudo /usr/libexec/locator.updatedb

It's now run as a launchd job.  The first time you run `locate foo` it
should give you this message:

WARNING: The locate database (/var/db/locate.database) does not exist.
To create the database, run the following command:

  sudo launchctl load -w
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist

Please be aware that the database can take some time to generate; once
the database has been created, this message will no longer appear.

However, if you've manually created the db, you might not see that  
message.
Anyway, you can look in the com.apple.locate.plist to see how it's  
running
it.

Howdy,

Locator is getting a bit long in tooth. It's PPC only and with the
update to Snow Leopard I'd have to install Rosetta. I think it's time
to look for some substitute. Some of the other tools around can use
the locate data base and hopefully Spotlight and Find in Snow Leopard
(haven't installed it yet) can list system files without intervention
(it can be set up each time with Find in Finder).

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
