[texhax] texmakerx, and mactex

[Tom Backer Johnsen]

Thanks, that message got me a bit closer.  I evidently have to learn 
something about references to catalogs/directories on OSX.  I now manage 
to run Latex on a relatively large project.  So far, so good.  But when 
I try PdfLatex with TeXmakerx I get some weird messages where the first 
one is  "Undefined  control sequence  \documentclass".  And no pdf 
output.  So, I am not there yet.

Being a Mac newbie I bought the machine about a month ago and are struggling to some extent.  I have trouble finding the correct settings.

I do not think TeXShop can handle that as far as I have seen up to now.  As to Lyx, I tried that one some years ago, I prefer a pure LaTeX setup.
