<span>I have now repaired FixLink, but haven't yet uploaded it anywhere.  If it proves necessary, I'll make the change also in MacTeX and post both.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Right now I'm looking for someone else who installed Sierra to a new disk rather than upgrading from an earlier version of OS X. If you are a TeX user, you'd also have to install MacTeX-2016. Can you typeset from the command line? More specifically, if
 you open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities, and type</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>   pdflatex</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>and press RETURN, does the program run and report its version, or does Terminal report that no such program can be found. In either case, please write me with the results.</span><br>
