Hi folks,
I have just upgraded from OSX 10.8.6 to Mavericks 10.9.2 and find I can no longer choose between my TEX distributions
After upgrading, all the distributions showed up in the TeX pref pane but non were selected (most recent was TexLive-2012).
When I selected one, the system asked for an admin passwd and then replied « failure » (in French) on /usr/texbin.
So I then installed MacTeX-2013. The TexLive-2013 radio button in the pref pane is now active, but none of the others.
The system still asks for a passwd when I try to select one, but nothing happens when I give it.
O.K. TexLive-2013 now works, and I know you will say that I should be happy with it, but I am co-authoring a book with a colleague, we are nearly finished and would like to be able to go back to TexLive-2012 so that we work with identical distributions (my colleague does not like updating software that has no problems).
Has anyone else seen this problem?
I see no problem with the PATH
echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/texbin
/usr/texbin points here:
ls -als texbin
8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 63 19 avr 09:51 texbin -> /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin
/Library/TeX/Distributions/ seems OK:
cd /Library/TeX/Distributions/
ls -als
total 64

Any Ideas anyone?
P.S. The cocoaspell pref panel was also broken by the upgrade, but solved by re-installation
Thanks in advance,
