Dear all, 14/11/16
my problem has been solved now with your help, in particular that of Richard
Coch.
THANKS!!!
And, yes, I still use tcsh, simply because I used it when I began to do some
programming on the Mac, still under Mac OS 9, and have a long .cshrc file...
The "trick" has been to use TeXlive to choose the texlive/2016 version, and to
update 473 packages.
I also added in .cshrc
setenv PATH "/Library/TeX/texbin:$PATH"
as last instruction on PATH, and it seems to be the other element of the
solution.
Best regards, I am happy to have joined tug.org and hope to be of help in the
future.
