I did verify that tikz.sty exists on my system (I should have mentioned that) ... and it appears to have been installed via Fink. $ dpkg -S tikz.sty pgf: /sw/etc/texmf.local/tex/latex/pgf/frontendlayer/tikz.sty Perhaps this is part of Fink's pgf package? In any event, I am inclinded to switch to TeXLive. Is there a convenient way to do that without conflicting with the dependencies on tetex? ... or do you imply that MacTeX is intended to co-exist with tetex?
