[OS X TeX] a texdoc problem

[Johannes Kuester]

Most probably this is a problem with the PATH variable; it seems you use 
a luatex which is not the one from TeXLive.

See here:

I experienced the same problem here (I never used texdoc before), by 
changing the order of directories in the PATH variable texdoc works now.

Regards,

Johannes
