<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ok, changed the path pref back to /usr/texbin, and confirmed that the tex distribution was set to texlive 2007 (it is). I do have a .texlive2007 folder in my home dir, but there doesn't appear to be a web2c within the texmf-var subdirectory there.<br>

Thanks,<br><br>Nathan<br></blockquote><br><br></div>Howdy,<br><br>The path setting should be /usr/texbin since that is a link to the proper binaries. TAke a look in System Preferences->TeX Distribution and see that your TeXLive-2007 is chosen since that seems to be what you are using from the information above. If you have TeXLive(MacTeX)-2008 installed you'll have a choice so try to toggle that.<br>
<br>Also, do you have a .texlive2007 folder (hidden in Finder --- use ls -a in Terminal) in your HOME folder? If so, is there a texmf-var/web2c folder inside that? If so, remove it and see what happens.
