If you still haven't fixed it, you can also try the TeX on Mac mailing list (go to to sign up, to see the archives). If you use Fink, the path would be somewhere in /sw.
#Latexit download full#
In my case (G4 laptop, MacTeX distribution), the full path is /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/powerpc-darwin/pdflatex, but /usr/texbin/pdflatex works also because there is an alias in /texbin. If you use the MacTeX distribution, the path is in /usr/local/texlive. If you use the gwTeX distribution, the path should be somewhere inside /usr/local/gwTeX.
button for the pdfLaTeX path to see if the path is set correctly and to browse to the correct path if it is not. Go to the Composition tab of LaTeXit's preferences and use the Change. Enter the following two commands: texlua install-getnonfreefonts getnonfreefonts -sys -all This first installs getnonfreefonts, then downloads and installs all available free fonts for all local TEX users.

I did a clean install of everything on my system after installing Leopard, and I can verify that LaTeXit works using the MacTeX distribution (I previously had both MacTex and i-installer's gwTeX distributions).Īssuming that you don't want to do what I did, you can fix the path LaTeXit uses to access pdftex. Open a command line and change to your download folder. For good measure, I also installed ghostscript 8 the same way.As the LaTeXit readme promises, LaTeX was installed on my system, chosing the default answer to all questions. In the right panel, I selected "gwTex based on TexLive," and. In the left-panel, I chose and ""d the Gerben's i-Directory TUG. I launched the i-installer and chose the menu item i-packages » Known packages i-directory.So, just download the i-installer, open the dmg, and install it." This is very handy, because you are ensured that the files you get are the most recent ones, and all the installation is made for you. I quote from the LaTeXit readme: "The i-installer is a little program that allows you to install LaTeX (or other things) on your system, by getting all the files you need in a remote location. I followed the directions in the LaTeXit Read Me file, and downloaded i-installer.The i-installer enabled me to download and install a new version of gwtex, and after that, LaTeXit worked. I installed a new and separate version of LaTex using i-installer. Probably a new Leopard release will fix this, but in the meantime, what does one do? Here's how I solved the problem.
Although I had latex operating properly under X11, evidently, LaTeXit wasn't finding the paths. Reinstalling LaTeXit did not solve the problem. On installing OS 10.5, I discovered that LaTeXit 1.14.4 hangs on launch. I use LaTeXit quite extensively for adding equations to presentations.
