[texpoint-users] TexPoint on mac, finds latex but "no output generated" FAILED message, help

[Ytsen de Boer]

  Dear TexPoint experts,

  Today I installed TexPoint on my mac book (OS X 10.5.2). I ran the
install file and choose the user installation.

  Via fink I installed latex&co:

% sudo fink install context
% sudo fink install ghostscript6
% sudo fink install ghostscript-fonts
% sudo fink install oberdiek
% sudo fink install tetex-base
% sudo fink install system-tetex
% sudo fink install texinfo
% sudo fink install textutils
% sudo fink install latex2html
% sudo fink install dvipdfm
% sudo fink install pdfscreen
% sudo fink install pdfslide
% sudo fink install pdftex
% sudo fink install xdvi

  but something must be a-miss.

  When I start powerpoint I have the TexPoint menu, which is good.
Also I can choose "configure" and "Information". The next information
appears:

If all external commands are OK, TexPoint is fully functional. In case
a 'FAILED' is shown, some features will not work. You may want to
install the indicated software and/or check the global (on Mac: the
bash) path configuration. Please also check the manual for details.
