[Tex/LaTex] TeXmaker not compiling on OSx El Capitan (error: log file not found)

errorsmactexmaker

When I try to compile pdfLaTeX on TeXmaker, it doesn't seem to be working. It used to work on Yosemite before I updated the operating system to OSx El Capitan. I have changed all the /usr/texbin commands to /Library/TeX/texbin as described in the following document by Herbert Shultz: https://tug.org/mactex/UpdatingForElCapitan.pdf.

A pop-up error comes up when I try to compile saying 'Log file not found'. I am a very new LaTeX user so please explain as simply as possible how to fix this.

P.S It doesn't seem to be working for TeXShop (3.57) either.

I had the same problem. I solved it as follows: Notice that you do not have to change all the /usr/texbin to /Library/TeX/texbin. The path for latexmk must remain as /usr/texbin. In my case this fixed the problem.
