I am on a mac and I believe I am using MacTeX. I am getting errors of the sort:
File `fullpage.sty' not found.
When I run locate fullpage.sty
I get
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/latex/preprint/fullpage.sty
But when I run kpsewhich fullpage.sty
I get nothing. I have already tried sudo texhash
and sudo mktexlsr
to no avail. I think the problem may be that I have two conflicting TeX Live versions installed—I recently installed QuTIP and I think during the process a basic version was installed via macports—but of this I am not certain. I have no idea how to proceed.
I have two questions: How can I get LaTeX to find fullpage.sty
? And, if someone can see the real cause of the above error or knows how to find it, how can I remedy the situation?

Old question, but this is a common problem. If you installed via MacTeX, TeX Live will end up in /usr/local/texlive, but I believe MacPorts installs under /opt by default (it did last time I checked, but it's been a few years). Hence, you do indeed have two conflicting TeX distributions, and you're running
kpsewhich
from the MacPorts install. If you enterwhich kpsewhich
in Terminal, it probably points to/opt/local/bin/kpsewhich
or something similar.The easiest way to fix this is to edit your
PATH
environment variable so that/usr/texbin
comes first. If you're usingbash
, your~/.bash_profile
, you would have something likeAlternately, if macports sets your
PATH
by sourcing a script in~/.bash_profile
, as Fink does (or did), you can add a final line to your profile ofA couple of notes:
