That, of course, still was able to use /usr/texbin so /Library/TeX/texbin wasn't created since El Capitan wasn't even a ``glimmer in Apple's eye'' at the time. Note: I see that you are using MacTeX-2014 (TeX Live 2014).

#Aquamacs path pdf#

The only time we've seen problems with using that is if someone played with /etc/profile and eliminated the processing of the contents of /etc/paths.d.Īs I said, the problem was that the latex command in AUCTeX was changed from latex to pdflatex (don't know when?) and the pdf mode was selected so Aquamacs was trying to execute pdfpdflatex. MacTeX-2015 installs a file in /etc/paths.d which sets /Library/TeX/texbin as part of the PATH variable.

I didn't really know how to find it until Etore gave the incantation to me (haven't used emacs since the 1980s).

So, that route will require people to upgrade their MacTeX install after installing El Capitan. > Aquamacs will pick up the /Library path in a future version, but not the /usr/local/texlive/2014 one. > export PATH=/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-darwin:$PATH > In that case I would suggest adding the following to their ~/.bash_profile script:

I prefer storing it, with associated documentation, in a sub-directory of /Applications. I just downloaded and re-installed Aquamacs.app and still have the same problem. The correct path is shown in Terminal.app so the system is using the /etc/paths.d/TeX file which contains /Library/TeX/texbin.

Maybe that's all it needs. I've changed the /usr/texbin in auctex-config.el but it still won't execute pdflatex. In Terminal everything works properly, i.e., PATH does pick up /Library/TeX/texbin.

I think Herb is interested in formulating some kind of advise for MacTeX users. Oh, that’s because you are responding to me, and I was responding to Herb, who > From your message, I cannot see your original problem. > It appears that newer MacTeX installations might install into a different path, or at least no longer link /usr/texbin (which may be a protected directory under El Capitan).

I understand a new release is in the making, so this change may make it. Yeah, that should be replaced by /Library/TeX/texbin. Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/aquamacs/edit-modes/auctex-config.elĪ number of directories, currently including /usr/texbin are *concatenated* to the PATH. David will probably be able to give you a more comprehensive answer.

I’m cc’ing the Emacs on Mac OS X list and the aquamacs-devel one.
