OSX 10.8 中 usetex 的问题

Question

我最近升级到 OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion)，如果我尝试在绘图标签中使用乳胶标记，我的 python 安装现在行为异常。

以下代码运行完美：

plt.figure()
plt.plot( rand(51), rand(51) )
plt.show()

但是，这不是：

plt.rc( 'text', usetex=True )
plt.figure()
plt.plot( rand(51), rand(51) )
plt.show()

我得到的错误是：

还有其他人遇到过这个问题吗？我该如何解决这个问题？

也许 TeX 和实用程序不在您的 $PATH 上？您应该进行设置，以便如果您在命令行上键入“tex”或“kpsewhich”，您将调用这些程序（即获取一些输出而不是“command not found”）。如果您之前安装了 TeX Live，请确保 /usr/texbin 在搜索路径中。
