I just had a TeX file open in TeXShop, having remembered some things
– there seems to be everything already ready for you! There is the
Macros menu and in it Claus Gerhardt's Macros, and one of those is
bibtex!
Obviously it's not so good to never use TeXShop for editing ...
And you are editing in TeXShop the file myglossar.gls? Or another
file for this purpose that has always the extension .gls? This is an
important item, because in this case this part of Herb's engine
script from two weeks ago
"`basename "$1" .tex`"
must not be used (it would fail, anyway). (And the first part
bfname=$(dirname "$1")/
is also not necessary, since TeXShop only passes the file's name
including its extension to a macro or engine script. The directory's
name is contained in the environment variable $PWD.)
Claus Gerhardt's macros scripts have all one problem: they set a
particular value for path (or PATH in Bourne or Bourne Again shell
based scripts)! The value can be wrong (for PowerPC hardware or for
teTeX). This constant source of errors could be easily avoided by
using the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file with a proper PATH setting
in it.
One more thing: since you're coming from a German speaking area the
use of bibtex8 instead of bibtex might be more adequate – but I am
making this remark as a non-expert on BibTeX!
