1. The directions you gave for making the Library folder visible don’t work for me (I am using OS 10.11.6). After closing the window, the drop down menu for “Go” still doesn’t show Library.<br class="">
<br class="">
2. More important (for me), I changed the upper case to lower case in the file names “texmf” and “tex”. However, I am still getting the weird error message which shows up in the screen shot below:<br class="">

After getting several responses to the email below, and being slow to work thorough them, I recalled (prompted by one email) that the right depository<br class="">
for these files is in ~Library/Texmf/Tex/latex. So I copied the files I had in the subfolder of the one called Book(update2018) into the above named file (the fact that one has to go into contortions—i.e., use option when you try to “Go”—seems like an unnecessary
cruelty on the part of Apple, but…)<br class="">
and tried to run my master file. I get the euror “file shellacs.sty not found”<br class="">
<br class="">
I have no idea how to chase down the source of this mysterious problem. Any suggestions?<br class="">

I am, even after many years and several changes of computers and TeXShop installations, still confused about where to put things.<br class="">
<br class="">
Here is my immediate problem:<br class="">
I have a folder, called “Book(update 2018) which has the text files for a book; among the .tex file is also a folder called Bookmacros(2018) in which I have the user-defined macros I use in this book.This is an update of a book already submitted and in fact
under production at the publisher, but I wanted an up-to-date corrected version, which is the intention of this folder. In the master tex file (which calls all the others) I have the command<br class="">
\usepackage{Bookmacros(2018)/formatstyle} pointing to the macro file inside the Bookmacros(2018) folder that governs some formatting issues.<br class="">
It is clear to me that this file is not being accessed (but some other version elsewhere on my computer is) because when I compile the masterful<br class="">
i get an error message about an undefined control sequence referring to a macro that I have triple-checked is correctly defined in the format macros.sty file inside this folder.<br class="">
<br class="">
Can someone clarify how TeX searches for .sty files (and other macro files).<br class="">
I recall that there is a central place where such files can be put to always be accessible to .tex files anywhere on the computer, and would like to be reminded of this, but also here I am concerned with overriding any obsolete versions of this file that may
have been left lying around. Am I using the wrong format to point into this subfolder?<br class="">

It should be ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex and notice the lower case Ts. Also, ~/Library is the Library folder in your HOME folder, NOT the one in the root of your hard drive which is called /Library (no ~). To open that ~/Library folder in Finder hold down the
Opt key and click on the Go menu to see an item to open that Library.<br class="">

One more thing... You can easily make ~/Library permanently visible in your HOME folder. Open your HOME folder (Shft-Cmd-H in Finder). Then open View->Show View Options (Cmd-J). Check the `Show Library Folder' box and then close the View Options window. Tada...
that Library folder is now permanently visible.<br class="">

Note that you don't actually load shellesc.sty so one of your special packages, e.g., mymathmacros(?), must try to load it. I'd guess it's NOT one of the packages you placed in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex since it's part of recent TeX Live distributions installed
