I just wanted to document how I installed TeX on my MacBook Air.
I grabbed and installed BasicTeX-2008 from the MacTeX folks.
TeX binaries were installed in: /usr/local/texlive/2008basic/bin/universal-darwin.
So I added that directory to my path.
Next I updated the installed packages:
tlmgr update bin-texlive texlive.infra
tlmgr update --all
Since the ACM style file seems to need to more fonts, I installed the recommened font set:
tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended
Also we’re apparently still using (the deprecated) subfigure.sty, so I installed that:
tlmgr install subfigure.
At this point I can build our most recent paper on the Air.
It looks like I need to use Skim and one of the visual editors to get source/PDF sync’ing working (using the installed synctex package). I’ll probably setup Textmate and Skim next.
Yay! Sandro is back to blogging and as geeky as ever, there is great rejoicing from his fans!
Oh, and TeX is very cool.

Thanks for the encouragement Scott!

I highly recommend rubber for building LaTeX files. Much nicer than using a Makefile.
