I already see all the questions related to the change of directory path everywhere in the texmaker settings. I follow those steps and I change all the paths with the: /Library/TeX/texbinbut I still have problem when compiling. The error is the following: log file not found if the file is new. Otherwise there is no errors but the Pdf view doesn't appear and the compilation isn't done.

Any idea? What I'm missing?

    Can you compile the document from a terminal, using either pdflatex or /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex (or another engine like xelatex if that's what you're using)? Are there any files in /Library/TeX at all? – Mike Renfro Oct 15 '15 at 13:23
  • @MikeRenfro inside /Library/TeX I have only Documentation, Distribution, Local and Root. From the terminal I don't have any command called pdflatex. – rebatoma Oct 15 '15 at 14:22

    I don't have El Capitan to confirm with, but my guess is that either pdflatex isn't in the texbin directory, or isn't present at all. You can confirm that with something like find /Library/TeX -name pdflatex and see if it returns a path at all. If not, I'd consider reinstalling MacTeX. – Mike Renfro Oct 15 '15 at 14:25
  • @MikeRenfro Ok, thanks for your suggestion. I can't find any path for the pdflatex so I'll try to reinstall MAcTex. Thanks again. – rebatoma Oct 15 '15 at 14:31

    many questions on el capitan! is this helpful? Texmaker: command not found on MacOS El Capitan – barbara beeton Oct 15 '15 at 14:49
  • @barbarabeeton I already try all these solutions. But the problem still present. Now I'm trying to reinstall MacTeX – rebatoma Oct 15 '15 at 15:05
  • @MikeRenfro I tried to reinstall MacTeX now I have the files inside Library/Tex but a problem is still present. The pdf document now is created but the viewer doesn't show it. Moreover, every time I open again TexMaker the path must be re-set. How I can save in a permanent way the right path? Thanks for your support. – rebatoma Oct 15 '15 at 20:43

    I don't use TeXmaker in OS X, only TeXshop. But can you compile from a terminal now? If not, no editors' build buttons will likely work. – Mike Renfro Oct 15 '15 at 21:51
  • @MikeRenfro I checked, now the compilation works properly. – rebatoma Oct 16 '15 at 09:13
  • @MikeRenfro I still have the problem to re-set the path each time I open TexMaker. Do you know how to deal with that? – rebatoma Oct 17 '15 at 14:33

I solve the problem by changing the path and save it under administration permission.
