Has anyone else experienced this, or is anyone using the same setup without problems? I suspect there might be an issue with this new “rootless” approach and a change on the system’s paths (for instance, some paths needed updating for TeX to work again), but I am nowhere clever enough to know where to look or what to do.

This is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755902.

The work around is to use 2.6.7 until I figure out what’s gone wrong and get a new dmg up.
