thank you for all these explanations but I need a precision. I've an  
old gwtex distribution
  and the experimental based on texlive 2006
the TeX's control panel give the choice between gw 2003-2005 and gw  
( texlive 2006)

/usr/texbin is used in Texshop

But it is possible to erase the old distribution because the number  
of files is too
  big and it's difficult to know who makes what ?

in /usr/local/ i have a gwtex folder and a tetex folder

examples :
$ locate epstopdf
/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0/epstopdf
/usr/local/gwTeX/man/man1/epstopdf.1
/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/doc/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf.pdf
/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/doc/man/man1/epstopdf.1
/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/scripts/tetex/epstopdf.pl
/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf.sty
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0/epstopdf
/usr/local/teTeX/man/man1/epstopdf.1
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/help/Catalogue/entries/ 
epstopdf.html
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf.sty

and there is an epstopdf in texshop ( i think that it's very strange )

How to to install TeXlive 2007 in my situation ?
because i don't  want a third distribution

Thanks and greetings

the last message is very important for us (the little users)
