Comment (by fusionfan):

 Replying to [comment:19 NicosPavlov]:
 > Good. I'll then update the paths in kde4-kile (since you confirmed that
 even older systems use the newer one), and close the ticket.

 I think these paths depend on the MacTex version rather than the OS
 version. In my experience newer versions install in the new path even on
 older systems. But it also puts a legacy symlink in the old place for
 backwards compatibility.

 Of course this is out of the scope, and can only be executed on a longer
 term.

 Thank you for all the help!
