To limit changes to things I think I understand, my '/usr/local/texlive' directory contains subdirectories 2014, 2015, 2016, 2020, and texmf-local. From your comments, I gather that the following would be wise: sudo rm -r /usr/local/texlive/2014 sudo rm -r /usr/local/texlive/2015 sudo rm -r /usr/local/texlive/2016 I did this, and "R CMD check Ecfun_0.2-4.tar.gz" still ran to completion without errors. I don't understand "ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep 'texlive/2016' | awk '{print $9}'", but I did "ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep 'texlive/20' > texlive_20.txt" and examined texlive_20.txt in R. I found it contained 451 lines like the following: lrwxr-xr-x 1 sbgraves admin 48 Jan 13 17:42 a2ping -> /usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-darwin/a2pingYup, upgrades until 2016 likely overwrote earlier links to 2015, 2014,.. The awk thing just reduces the above to the 9th field (i.e. "a2ping"), so you could in principle save the list to a file, say remove.me, and then for i in `cat remove.me` ; do rm /usr/local/bin/$i ; done (with a sudo somewhere, and do check carefully...)All had "2016". I'm inferring from your comments that if anything I do calls any of those 451 operations like "a2ping", I will get "not found". If I get that, I gather I'm supposed to "sudo rm /usr/local/bin/a2ping" and hope that solves the problem.Yep. That should solve things, provided there's an a2ping in /Library/TeX/texbin
I did "which" for all 451 executables found by "ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep 'texlive/20' > texlive_20.txt". All but 3 of them were found in "/Library/TeX/texbin/". The 3 not found were lua2dox_filter, pdfatfi, and xindy.mem. In particular, a2ping was found there.
Anything else? Thanks again. Spencer Graves _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
