Comment (by NicosPavlov):

 I cannot reproduce the issue, as in my case kde4-kile respects the
 requirements in binpath.

 Please confirm the path you are entering. /usr/texbin is the original
 symlink used by MacTeX, but because Apple forbids changes in /usr since El
 Capitan, the main symlink has been changed to /Library/TeX/texbin in
 recent installations. It does work for me when employing that symlink. I
 am aware that you are using an older OS (10.9 according to the log), but I
 am not sure if all MacTeX installs have changed the path.

 You are also mentioning that Kile does work fine when changing to MacTeX,
 and if that's the case, good for you. However, I noticed that several
 binaries are not necessarily found directly. I had made a +mactex variants
 in kde4-kile, which addresses some of the issues in finding TeX tools,
 which could be useful too.
