    If you didn't install MacTeX, did you install it using install-tl? I hate to tell you this, but installing MacTeX might be faster than solving this problem. (Especially since 99% of Mac users have MacTeX and therefore little experience with the basic TL install.) Commented Oct 4, 2011 at 23:01
  • @Jeremy: yes bad idea if you don't know how to manage a tl distribution. The best way is to install MacTeX. Commented Oct 5, 2011 at 3:55
  • @alanMunn Unfortunately, I don't have the option of using MacTex. I don't have admin access so I can't install MacTex. Previously I had tl installed through install-tl -in-place and it found my local texmf tree without any trouble. I was hoping for a simple solution. Commented Oct 5, 2011 at 4:56
