Thanks for your help, Norbert.

I don't know whether reinstalling what it had been already installed 
makes any sense (besides updating packages).

Thanks again. It worked fine, but I get the following error:

tlmgr update --all
tlmgr: package repository 
http://ftp.gui.uva.es/sites/ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet

Fundamental package texlive.infra not present, uh oh, goodbyeSerious 
error, texlive.infra not found at /usr/local/bin/tlmgr line 4797.

How can I fix it?

Sorry, I didn't knew that.

I have googled for this error and I found a thread 
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2008-December/019516.html and 
following your suggestions there, I'm afraid that I get the same result 
with "tlmgr -v update --list" and "tlmgr -v -v update --list":

D:W: texlive.infra is mentioned somewhere but not available, disabling
DD:post_select = texlive.infra

Fundamental package texlive.infra not present, uh oh, goodbyeSerious 
error, texlive.infra not found at /usr/local/bin/tlmgr line 4797.

Do I have to reinstall everything again?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
