Howdy,

I'm going to stretch my neck out here and wonder if you executed the
install-tl.sh using sudo; i.e., sudo install-tl.sh and then put in your
administator password. It is just beginning to sound as though nothing is
installed and that could happen if you don't have write permissions to
/usr/local/.

Good Luck,
