A better approach is to pick a texlive administrator (e.g., the regular
user of a
single-user systems), use "sudo" to create /usr/local/texlive and transfer
ownership to the texlive administrator.   Now that it is installed, a
"chown -R ..."
can fix things.

Did you use a package from the temaker site or somethings else?

Have you tried running texmaker from the command line where pdflatex
works?  A GUI program started from a menu may not get the same PATH as
a shell program.

I agree with David.  You might get better advice from the TexMaker
site.
