Dick and Herb,
Thanks very much for your replies and suggestions.
When I use the minimal example that Dick used, I see the same error in TeXShop. But, I have discovered that if I override the error, by typing return in th console, things work as expected!
Yes, the file in /Library/TeX/texbin is latexminted. But this is an alias to a python script, latexminted.py which is in /usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/scripts/minted
The directory /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c does exist, but it is empty.
At this point, I can typset files using minted from TeXShop, but it still seems that something isn’t quite right.
Thanks again,
David

> 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:
