After having updated to Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11), I'm no more able to compile using either TexMaker or TexShop. This is the message I get from TexShop

"/usr/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."

I tried to change the path in Preferences-Engine, as many suggested. Yet, it doesn't work either. Any help?

I just solved it. You just need to change the path of the files for the command according to the new organization in El Captain. I posted a screenshot. It works for me!

Hope this helps!

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. – Martin Schröder Oct 04 '15 at 19:09
  • Thank you! that's exactly right! In TexShop I had to do the same too. Add /usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/universal-darwin/ to the path settings in the Engine tab. – iamaziz Oct 10 '15 at 18:47
  • I changed my settings according to the post after upgrading to El Capitan. I can compile .tex now, but cannot use R Sweave. Can someone help? Thanks very much! I get this message in TexMaker: Error : could not start the command : R CMD Sweave "text".Rnw... – Leshui Dec 17 '15 at 02:52
