OS X mavericks latex issue
- by Vineet Bafna
I upgraded to Mavericks and found that pdflatex stopped working. I followed some previous discussions to recreate a link that Mavericks had broken.
sudo ln -fs /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin texbin
The error message changed to "Permission denied". I tried to change permissions, but it does not work. Please see below.
/usr 65: sudo ln -fs /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin texbin
/usr 66: ls -l texbin
ls: texbin: Permission denied
lrwx------ 1 root wheel 63 Aug 21 08:42 texbin
