[Tex/LaTex] moderncv error: tweaklist.sty

installingmoderncv

I can't get moderncv to work. I get the error: 

! LaTex Error: File 'tweaklist.sty' not found.

What I've done so far is manually install moderncv in my texmf tree (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/moderncv)

tweaklist.sty is in this directory, but when I run 

\documentclass{moderncv}
\begin{document}
;lakdjfl
\end{document}

it gives the aforementioned error

You don't give all the information needed to fully answer your question, but since you are using a Mac, there are two basics to pay attention to:

  1. Install TeXLive using the MacTeX installer. This will save you no end of headaches in the future, and furthermore, most of us who use Macs will assume you have this setup.

  2. Check your TeXShop preferences. Given that you were previously running TL 2008, it's possible that TeXShop has a direct path to the binaries in the preferences. With a recent version of TeXShop you should just be able to choose the "Set Default Values" in the Engine preference panel to reset all of the relevant paths etc.
