Re: Prosper on OSX for a newbie

Hi Mathieu,

I tried to replace xcolor on my machine, but I'm not sure if I really 
succeeded. I downloaded what I think is the most recent version and 
moved it to:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/

I renamed the directory that was already there xcolor-old

Same problem as far as I can tell. I then moved the two xcolor 
directories (the new version xcolor and the old version xcolor-old) out 
of /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/ (put them on the 
desktop) and had the same problem. I found one other file called 
xxcolor.sty in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/dfg and I 
moved that one to the Desktop also. Same response. It seems that it is 
failing before it even tries to access xcolor, unless it is finding the 
versions that I moved because my Desktop is in the LaTex path. I can 
move them off the system completely. How can you tell that there is a 
problem in xcolor?
