That preference pane basically just changes /usr/texbin to point at a particular TeX Live distribution. If you've installed TeX Live by some means other than MacTeX, then the default /usr/texbin path will no longer work correctly, as the symbolic links in the TeX Distribution prefpane (part of MacTeX, located in System Preferences.app) will not be set up.

TL DR It seems to my naive brain, that the TexLive util is still trying to use the 2013 binary, rather than the new 2014 ones, but I don't know how to change what the application addresses.Īny help (ASAP) would be greatly appreciated. Same problems (it was a long shot I knew :P ) I thought that perhaps the utility needed reinstalling so I redownloaded and installed MacTeX. But to continue, I thought I had solved this, so proceeded to test TexLive Utility, but alas the same error.

My guess is that this is where at least part of my problem is coming from. I then added the binaries to my $PATH, as instructed, but I've never done this before and don't know if it is correct. As far as I can tell, everything worked fine (other than I had to sudo the installer on OSX). I have now got a 2014 folder in the correct directory alongside the 2013 folder that already existed from my current installation. I elected to manually upgrade and followed the instructions found here:
#Changing path variable for tex live utility update#
I tried to update packages through TexLive utility from MacTEX and then received the error that the CTAN repository was running the 2014 version and I was still running the 2013. I copied in some elements of my preamble from my thesis where I know this environment had worked previously but no joy. I received an error that said subfigure was an undefined environment in the RCS Journal template I was using, and some further googling told me that the package was deprecated. I'm having some problems getting TexLive Utility to work with the repository to update packages.
