Hi first time on the list, so excuse me if this is a known question (I couldn’t
find anything in the archives, though).
The preview in BibDesk has completely stopped working for me, complaining that
it can’t find article.cls (which is is of course rather fundamental!). I
recently upgraded to TeX Live 2013 (MacPorts), and I’m assuming that’s somehow
caused the problem, as the preview certainly worked the last time I tried under
TeX Live 2012 (although that was a while ago). I haven’t tried switching back
to 2012 as that’s not just a matter of swapping the packages (see below).
I do use a custom template, but the problem persists even when I reset to the
default. I have a bunch of environment variables pointing to various texmf
trees, and the MacPorts TeX Live does have a tendency to swap these around for
no apparently good reason during major upgrades. However, I’m well aware of
this and have carefully checked multiple times that all are correct. No sneaky
TEXINPUTS variables lurking around that I’m aware of.
I also tried the 20131130 nightly build yesterday with no success.
At this point I’ve run out of obvious ideas, so I’m open to suggestions. Thanks!
Log output from BibDesk follows.
