[OS X TeX] Install fail

[John Burt]

It came from the email that way. AlphaX is Unix-oriented, but it can use Windows and Mac line endings. I was glad to see that it could change them for the whole file with one click.

Then I moved them to \etc. (I didn't move csh.logout and bashrc, because they were identical to the files already there). I checked paths.d, which contained the TeX file, which had the content Ettore said it should have. Then I set the settings in the terminal back to using the default shell. Then I closed the terminal and restarted it. All of the complaints about missing things stopped. And here is what it said when I inquired about the path:
