[sage-devel] Re: Workaround for missing link to MacTex for MacOS Sage app
See https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/4 Weirdly, I have precisely this situation of having upgraded to El Capitan and not having upgraded my Sage, but LaTeX works fine, contra "If you had an old version of TeX Live (2014 or earlier) and then upgraded your operating system to Sierra, TeX will no longer work." but I haven't tried using the Mac app with it, as I use a locally compiled Sage for SageTeX.

IF you had an init.sage, one would want to do that, I guess. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.

Yes, it appears to have the path hard coded somewhere. My global path does contain /Library/TeX/texbin which appears to come from /etc/paths.d/TeX. I originally modified the /Applications/SageMath-7.5.1.app/Contents/Resources/start-sage.sh file. I then modified the src/mac-app/start-sage.sh file and rebuilt the Sage app dmg to test that this would install without problems. The only references I can find in the sage source tree are in several copies of same file, loading-page.html: adding os.environ["PATH"]+=":/usr/texbin:/usr/local/bin" to $HOME/.sage/init.sage My system does not have a ~/.sage/init.sage file.

yes, I agree this should be updated, according to https://www.tug.org/mactex/sierra.html I cc to the primary developer of sage.app. On Friday, January 20, 2017 at 4:12:22 AM UTC, Michael Frey wrote: > > I found that when trying to access LATeX (MacTeX) calls in a Sage notebook > via MatPlotLib or directly Sage would report that it could not find some > TeX function.
