Hello.  I've been a lurker for a long time and I think this message  
may not have gone through.  (If it did, I apologize.)

This is an error I get from a fresh-out-of-the-box reinstall of the  
big Mac-Tex download.   I googled bits of the error, and tried the  
options that they provided: repairpermissions and reinstalling.  Any  
thoughts would be helpful.  Thanks!
