Enrico,
If ~/Library/texmf still works for you without having installed a
symlink of it in ~/ then I am afraid your are still running one of
Gerben's installation. You must rid of Gerben's path first, see below
Your path has to be incorporated in /private /etc/profile (bash
shell) and in /private /etc/csh.login (c shell).
The modification of the profile would look like (for powerpc)
## TeX modifications start at Fri Nov 3 17:39:47 CET 2006 (must be
Gerben)
## Do not remove the previous line
if [ `whoami` != "root" ]
then
PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/texlivesymlink/bin/powerpc-darwin"
export PATH
fi
## Do not remove the next line
## TeX modifications end at Fri Nov 3 17:39:47 CET 2006 (must be
Gerben)
Either you enter your correct path, or you make a symlink to
texlivesymlink of the corresponding tex folder, in your case 2005 I
guess.
For those of you who now think that a texlive installation is very
complicated, this "complication" is only due to Gerben's modification
of the profiles in /etc. I guess that without such a previous
modification TeXLive's guidance for setting the path to the new
binaries would have worked.
