I'm glad it's working out for you. To not need to launch it from the command line you could try instructions similar to the following:
http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/wiki/index.php?title=GUI_Tools#Inkscape_with_TeXText_plugin Look for step 6: Even though the path to pdflatex is in the shell's $PATH environmental variable, textext.py needs the full path, as applications get their value of $PATH from ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. Another solution is to make sure that ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist has /usr/texbin in PATH. Jason On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 7:19 PM, G. <[email protected]> wrote: > > UNBELIEVABLE. hahaha!
