root
privilege. This
is a pity, since it offers several extras that aren’t available via a
standard TeX Live, which aren’t therefore available to “ordinary
folk” at work. For those who don’t have root
privilege, the
option is to install using the TeX Live tlinstall
utility.
OzTeX, by Andrew Trevorrow,
is a shareware version of TeX for the Macintosh. A DVI
previewer and PostScript driver are also included.
OzTeX is a Carbon app, so will run under Mac OS/X (see
http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/ozosx.html for details), but it
is not a current version: it doesn’t even offer PDFTeX. A
mailing list is provided by TUG: sign up via
http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/oztex
Another partly shareware program is
CMacTeX, put together by
Tom Kiffe. CMacTeX is much closer than OzTeX to the Unix TeX
model of things (it uses dvips, for instance). CMacTeX
runs natively under Mac OS/X; it includes a port of a version of
Omega.
Further information may be available in the
MacTeX wiki.
The MacTeX-on-OS X mailing list is another useful resource for
