Hi all,
The good news is i got it to work and it works great now! - but here is what
the problem was:
Since this is the first anyone has heard of this I decided to play
around with is. I tried it on another file and it worked ok so I tried
to find the problem with the document I was currently using. The
problem is pretty weird especially considering the fact it worked with
PDFview and Texniscope.
basically I have a directory that is all capitalized and if I descend
into that directory without using the right commands it won't work
because the pwd and the actual one are different - basically here are
the ways I can reproduce the problem:
The correct file directory is ~/TEMP (capitalized!) and the file is pbc.tex
- now do the following:
THIS CAUSES THE PROBLEM:
:~ hurstj$ cd temp
:~/temp hurstj$ /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline 200
pbc.pdf pbc.tex
:~/temp hurstj$ /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline 100
pbc.pdf pbc.tex
This will work for the first command - but no other subsequent ones -
noticed that the actual directory is ~/TEMP but somehow it sill allowed
me to go into ~/temp (which does not exist) and run commands in this
directory that does not exist!
THIS IS WHAT WORKS:
:~ hurstj$ cd TEMP
:~/TEMP hurstj$ /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline 200
pbc.pdf pbc.tex
:~/TEMP hurstj$ /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline 100
pbc.pdf pbc.tex
because of course we are in the actual capitalized directory that actually
exists!
Its just weird that the OS allows you to go into the lower case
directory that doesn't even exist and that PDFview and TeXniscope
worked with the wrong (lowercase) directory.
So in summary everything works good - you just have to use caution that
your OS is actually descending in a directory that actually exists!
Here is my system information in case anyone cares to investigate:
I'm using 10.4.11 Tiger. I used PDFview and have no problems,
TeXniscope too. I even tried the old (2004) and the newer 2007
versions of psfsync. On the latex end I use pdfeTeX, Version
3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5).
