I am having issues compiling in TeXShop since upgrading to El Capitan. I have searched extensively for a fix, but none of the recommended settings are fixing my problem. Here is a screenshot of my settings in TeXShop:



enter image description here



These settings produce the error: "/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex does not exist. TeXShop is a front end for TeX, but you also need a TeX distribution. Perhaps such a distribution was not installed or was removed during a system upgrade. If so, go to http://www.tug.org/mactex/ and follow the instructions to (re)install MacTeX. A less likely possibility is that a tool path is incorrectly configured in TeXShop preferences. This can happen if you are using the macports or fink distributions."



Additionally, I already tried reinstalling MacTex to no effect. TeXShop is fully updated.

  • You ought not need to change the settings if TeX Shop is updated. Are you using MacTeX 2015? You need the 2015 version of TeX Live. Earlier editions will not work. Please try compiling from the command line to see if that works. Try both /usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/*/pdflatex <tex file> and pdflatex <tex file> to make sure it works in both cases. echo $PATH would be useful, as would kpsewhich -var TEXMFMAIN and which pdflatex.
