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

[Ytsen de Boer]

 Dear Andreas,

 Thank you for you answer, but this I have done already by using this
file in my home directory:

ytsen @ fh1ytsen ~ > cat .bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin

 And I think it works, because as you can see from my posting, the
latex&co binaries ARE found. It is just that they somehow not work.
Anyone?

 Please tell me if I misunderstood you, though, hopefully it is
something easy-2-solve.

 Many thanks in advance,

Ytsen.
