Problems With Usetex In OSX 10.8

I recently upgraded to OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and my python install is now misbehaving if I try to use latex mark-up in my plot labels. The following code runs perfectly: plt.fig

Solution 1:

Maybe TeX and utilities are not on your $PATH? You should set things up so that if you type "tex" or "kpsewhich" on the command line, you invoke those programs (i.e. get some output instead of "command not found"). If you installed TeX Live previously, make sure that /usr/texbin is in the search path.
