I just tried to place ssv2latex in ~/Library/texmf/ , changed the
line in the applescript and it worked. So I am happy.
Here, though, is something I would like to elucidate:
Given that I don't know how to access /usr/local/texmf-local/ (I
really should carve it in stone somewhere accessible and whose
location I can remember and access), to what extent can I use ~/
Library/texmf/ instead?
Hopeful regards
