Texshop For Mac Yosemite

May 28, 2018 Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 is another product in Apple’s line of Mac OS X. Apple, in its line of amazing Mac OX titles, launched the Mac OS Yosemite 10.10 which took the world by storm. It new improved features allow even greater synchronization between iPhones and Macs when using the Internet. TeXShop is a front end to TeX and LaTeX, but when TeXShop typesets, it calls command line programs in an underlying TeX distribution. This distribution must be obtained separately. The TeX distribution contains the actual typesetting programs by Knuth and others, various fonts used by TeX, and a vast array of support style files and other.

TeX on Yosemite

Yosemite

MacTeX works fine on Apple's latest operating system, Yosemite. This page listsa few problems users encountered with TeX when updating to Yosemite. A new operatingsystem is expected in the fall of 2015; this page may be helpful for that update.

X Windows and Quartz

Some folks use xdvi to display TeX Output on X Windows. There are reports that linksin X Windows are removed and the X11 display fails. The solution is to reinstall Quartz.To do so, go to http://xquartz.macosforge.org.

Ghostscript

We have reports that Ghostscriptis broken, but actually it isn't. We ship two Ghostscript binaries, one with support for X11and one without this support. The binaries, in /usr/local/bin, are named gs-X11 and gs-noX11.The file gs in this location is a link to the approprite binary.
If Apple removes X11 during an update, the binary gs-X11 will fail to run. There are twoeasy solutions. The first is to install X11 as above. The second is to reset the link gs to point to gs-noX11. Users who don't know the appropriate Unix commands should install X11, becausethat is the easiest fix.

Installing Yosemite

The biggest problem by far with Yosemite occurs during installation, and then only for userswho already have TeX. The installer begins by moving /usr/local to a temporary location. Then it installs the new system. Near the end, the installer moves the contents of /usr/local back totheir original location, but in the process it carefully examines each file. Since TeX containshundreds of thousands of files, this final step can last from an hour to over twelve hours. Users who let installation run all night report success in the end.

Avoiding the Problem

Ross Moore sent an extremely useful method of avoiding the problem. He writes

'A colleague tells me that the way to update to Yosemite, withone or more TeX installations installed, is to first

mv /usr/local/texlive ~

do the install, then

mv ~/texlive /usr/local

'This avoids the installer archiving, and then re-installing thehierarchy *file-by-file*. This kind of approach may be useful with other subdirectoriesof /usr/local as well.'

This solution moves the texlive directory to the User's home directory, installs Yosemite,and then moves the texlive directory back to its proper location. In more detail, theappropriate commands are as follows (spaces in these commands are essential, so copyingthe commands may work better than retyping them):

sudo mv /usr/local/texlive ~

install Yosemite

sudo mv ~/texlive /usr/local

The TeX Dist Preference Pane

The TeX Dist Pane we distributed with MacTeX-2014 does not work in Yosemite. A newerreplacement for Yosemite is available at http://download2.polytechnic.edu.na/pub4/sourceforge/m/ma/mactextoolbox/TeXDist/.

It is possible to recover the basic functions of the PreferencePane by using the command line. This was pointed out by BrunoVoisin. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities. To see a list ofcurrent TeX distributions:

texdist --list

To see the current active distribution

texdist --current

To set a new active distribution

sudo texdist --setcurrent=TeXLive-2014

This last command requires the exact name of the distribution,but the listing command will give the name recognized by thedata structure. Notice that the listing includes '.texdist' whichis not used when setting a new distribution.

CocoAspell

CocoAspell runs fine on Yosemite, but the installer runs into troubleinstalling dictionaries on a fresh copy of Yosemite, and the SpellingPref Pane installed by CocoAspell does not initially run. The author has been notified of the trouble.

One possible solution is listed below, but Thaddeus Perala provided an easier fixwhich does not require retrieving files from an earlier system. To read about hissolution, click here.

Mac Yosemite Version Number

In the release version of Yosemite, it is possible to resurrect cocoAspellas follows. From an installation of CocoAspell on Mavericks, go to/usr/local/lib and find a folder named aspell-0.60 and several libraries whose names start with libaspell or libpsell. Copy this folder and these libraries to Yosemite, and move them into /usr/local/lib, creating this folder if necessary. Using sudo, change the owner of the files to root.

Again on Mavericks, go to '/Library/Application Support' and find thefolder named cocoAspell. Copy this folder to Yosemite and place it in '/Library/Application Support' there.

After these steps, the cocoAspell Preference Pane will run and the spell checker can be used as usual.
