[OS X TeX] Re: Leopard MacTeX PATH problems, still

[David Airey]

Dear Dr. Koch,

First, you should not apologize, because I have not paid you for your  
ongoing efforts. Second, I'd like to thank you for the effort you do  
expend.

Before I try to follow what you say, I want to make absolutely sure I  
don't screw things up. My understanding is that your previous scripts  
failed to change my files

/etc/csh.login
/etc/login

because I had upgraded from Tiger and these files had previously been  
modified, and so are still active, and my other files like, /etc/ 
paths.d/TeX, are being ignored, despite being installed correctly.

These two files above currently have contents, respectively:

--paste--
# System-wide .login file for csh(1).

setenv PATH "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
---------

and

--paste--
# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
export PATH

if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
	[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
fi
---------

The easiest fix you describe, is to change these files, even though I  
currently use Leopard to contain this text below, but you don't say  
whether I simply append this text to the text above or instead of the  
text above? Because this procedure is still not well enough documented  
for me, I may just wait.

/etc/csh.login

Other files will need changing as well....
