Since that failed the asmyptotemk engine quits.

YOu might want to copy that whole folder to your desktop and use that file along with the associated platexmkrc file in that folder and typeset it directly.

From ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/Latexmk/platexmkrc samples/for asymptote I copied both files latexusage.tex and platexmkrc to a folder of mine. When in TeXShopI typeset latexusage.tex with asymptotemk, I get an error:

   ./latexusage-1.tex: 29: Undefined control sequence.
   \ASYaligned ..7}\setbox \ASYbox \hbox {\ASYdimen
                                                                                     =\ht \ASYbox \advance \ASY…

                                                                                     %
I then continued in batch mode (q). The .pdf produced was defective in several ways. (I’ll try to attach the pdf, but as I recall the mailing list excises those.)
