To fix this problem, download FixLink from my web site:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="http://pages.uoregon/koch" class="">http://pages.uoregon/koch</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This is a very, very small download package; install the package.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Eventually this fix will be moved to BasicTeX-2016 and MacTeX-2016, but before remaking those packages, I want to make sure this one creates no problems. I certainly tested FixLink on my own machine.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The technical problem is that Sierra does not create the folders /etc/paths.d or /etc/manpaths.d, so our packages have to create them. XQuartz creates the folders as well, so another solution is to install XQuartz before installing BasicTeX or MacTeX.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dick Koch</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
