Hi,
I would like to install new packages. I use TexLive 2007 and TexShop on a Mac OS.
For this, I put all my packages in ~/Library/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/ then I used texhash.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work, texshop displays the error message saying that it didn't find my new packages.
Do you have an idea what I am supposed to do?
Thank you very much !
Stéphanie

Hi Stéphanie,
I recommend to install TeX Live 2008 or MacTeX 2008 because it comes with a package manager for installation and updates.

Remove one of the texmf levels, that is, put LaTeX packages in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/. You don't need texhash. TeX will find your files in that directory.Stephanie wrote:Hi,
