[tex-live] a question about PATH

[Richard Koch]

/Library/TeX/texbin comes from MacTeX. To learn more, go to

	http://tug.org/mactex/elcapitan.html

and read about TeX and El Capitan, and also go to

	http://tug.org/mactex/multipletexdistributions.html

and read about MacTeX’s support for multiple TeX Distributions.


I think the behavior you report is correct. In Terminal, we append
/Library/TeX/texbin to the end automatically, as most users have
only this link to the TeX binaries, and thus use our mechanism to
handle multiple versions. Sophisticated users can modify $PATH
as they wish.
