| Platform | Apple | OS | Macintosh | OS Version | 10.11.2 (El Capi |
| Product Version | 1.4.5 | ||||
| Summary | 0013596: [1.4.5] Render Frames does not work out of the box, needs to be set manually | ||||
| Description | The Preference file (Library>Preferences>Scribus>scribus 140.rc) shows [LatexEditor="/Library/TeX/texbin/LaTeX"] which apparently takes me to the appropriate directory, since adding "pdflatex --interaction nonstop mode" fires up kpathsea: Running mktexfmt LaTeX.fmt mktexfmt: mktexfmt is using the following fmtutil.cnf files (in precedence order): mktexfmt: /usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf mktexfmt: mktexfmt is using the following fmtutil.cnf file for writing changes: mktexfmt: /Users/ssanders/Library/texlive/2015/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf mktexfmt [INFO]: Disabled formats: 10 mktexfmt [INFO]: Not selected formats: 46 I can't find the format file `LaTeX.fmt' | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Open Scribus. On a new page, select the "Render Frame" tool and draw a render frame box. The message "Render Error" is shown in the box and an error message: The application "pdflatex --interaction nonstop mode" failed to start! Please check the path: " However, no path is shown. | ||||
| Additional Information | Scribus was installed from a disk image downloaded from SourceForge. I also verified that version 1.4.5 installed through MacPorts behaves in the same manner. Scribus 1.5.0 from SourceForge also does not find the correct path. OS 10.11 SIP (system integrity protection) has not been disabled. TeXShop, TeXLive, TeXStudio are installed and working; I've tried to use their paths to pdflatex for Scribus in the Scribus>Preferences>Tools pane, both by using the change command dialog and change external tool commands with no success. Administrator Kunda asked me to post this to the bug list. I would be happy to provide more information if needed. | ||||

Running 1.4.5 on OSX 10.10.5 Render Frames does not work out of the box I needed to go in to Prefrences > External Tools > Render Frames Choose LaTeX > Command Change and then use the whole path to pdflatex as such: /usr/texbin/pdflatex --interaction nonstopmode |
|
|
For OS 10.11.2 with SIP enabled (default), I followed the above suggestion but again it produced no result. However, since the terminal query "which pdflatex" returned /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex I entered /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex "--interaction nonstopmode" (note quotes!) and the render frame is now working. I have not yet tried this with Scribus 1.5. Thanks to Kunda for the suggestion. |

stansanderson, thanks for the follow-up. sorry for the delay in response. Note: Craig recently hardcoded a path in the 'External Tools' for OSX for another tool...and I'm trying to find that ticket and link it to this one. |
