[Macpartners] LaTex

[Annika Pfluger]

Hi Danielle,

I use TeTex (Latex) with TexShop (the interface for using Latex) on 
my Mac.  First you need to make sure that you have the Apple 
Developer Tools installed on your mac and then install Fink Commander 
(http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/). Launch Fink Commander and 
search for TexTex and run the full installation.  The last step is to 
install TexShop 
(http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/texshop.html). 
Launch TexShop and change a couple of the default paths in 
preferences:

	- use /sw/bin for the path to pdftex
	- use /usr/local/bin for the path to latex

There are a lot of steps, but it should all run pretty easily once 
you get started and it's all free. Good luck!

Annika
