[OS X TeX] Problem with minted and TeXShop

Hi,
   Having learned about minted in a post to this group last month, I have been exploring it a bit.  I have tried it with three different Macs with very similar, but not identical configurations.  On two, I was able to get it to work without much trouble, but on the third, I am getting this error when I try to typeset a LaTeX file with minted from TeXShop:

./minted_test.tex:61: Package minted Error: minted v3+ executable is not installed or is not added to PATH; or MiKTeX is being used with -aux-directory or -output-directory without setting a TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY environment variable.

But, I can typset the file using pdflatex from the command line without any obvious problems. So, I presume this has something to do with how TeXShop is looking for what it needs.

In TeXShop, the path is set to:
/Library/TeX/texbin
and the LaTeX engine is set to:
pdflatex --file-line-error --synctex=1 -shell-escape

The latexminted.py executable is located in:
/Library/TeX/texbin 
(The file is an alias to /usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/scripts/minted/latexminted.py)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
David Goldenberg
