I have also inserted the lines export HOMETEXMF=~/Library/texmf and export TEXMF='{$HOMETEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}' into a file formed by copying the content of setuptex. But before I can test this, assuming that so far is so good, I need to turn my setuptex (which is natively a .tex file) into unix executable. How do I do this?
A TeX file??? setuptex should already be executable and no TeX file (the best way to do the change would be to use "cp setuptex mysetuptex" and then modify the latter), but if you want to make sure ... do chmod a+x mysetuptex (or however your file is called) "ls -l" should show you the status of file (you should be able to see if the file is executable).
