Ok, I've got /usr/texbin as the lead path in $PATH, have TexShop too pointing to /usr/texbin for pdftex, and /usr/texbin showing up properly for `which latex'. And I've used Fink commander to remove the Fink tex installation as well.<br>
<br>
However, upon typesetting in TexShop I still get the following error:<br>
<br>
/urs/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex: unrecognized option `--synctex=1'<br>
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)<br>
\write 18 enabled.<br>
%&-line parsing enabled.<br>
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt<br>
mktexfmt: No such file or directory<br>
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!<br>
<br>
What might I try next? Thank you to all who have been helping to solve this.<br>

<br>
Make all formats?<br>
<br>
sudo mktexfmt --all<br>
<br>
(as administrator).<br>

Howdy,<br>
<br>
Mktexfmt is really a symbolic link to fmtutil so it builds the format files in the user directory. Unless you you are building personal formats not the case here) you really should use<br>
<br>
sudo fmtutil-sys --all<br>
<br>
but once you've done the mktexfmt those formats won't be ``seen'' by TeX. Sigh...<br>
<br>
The complaint about ``unrecognized option'' is because MacTeX (TeX Live) 2007 doesn't have synctex. It is totally harmless!!!<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>
