Stephen -
I have tried to follow your instructions, but do not no enough to have success.
I did find this the PATH prefix:
/usr/texbin:/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
As I replied to Christopher, maybe it is a problem with MacTex and OS10.10.
Thanks,
Hal
