It used to be the case that an upstream TeX packager (Wierda) would change stuff with each release and the change would break our system-tetex placholder. Based on that, it was decidided _not_ to support third-party TeX distributions. We have TeX Live 2010. It's older, but works. > My workaround is to create sym-links in /usr/local/teTeX/bin: > > total 16 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 39 11 Sep 12:36 > universal-darwin -> ../../texlive/2011/bin/universal-darwin > lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 36 11 Sep 12:36 x86_64-darwin -> > ../../texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-darwin > > This seemed to have worked on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (PPC), where the > sym-links pointed to TeX Line 2008 (I had "compacted" the old > distributions by using hard links for identical files, which saved > many GB). > > > i system-tetex 20071003-2 Placeholder package for manually > installed teTeX, gwTeX, or TeX Live p tetex-base > [virtual > package] p tetex-macosx [virtual package] p tetex-texmf > [virtual > package] > > To me it looks as if everything is there.
