Actually, after sending this message I realized that there was a running
kpsewhich process (kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSCONFIG) which was taking
up a lot of resources (I don't know if left over from the aborted
installation, or from the mktexlsr I executed by hand). After killing
this process, another kpsewhich process appeared (kpsewhich
-var-value=TEXMFMAIN), which I also killed. More kpsewhich processes
appeeared in succession (--format=map dvips35.map, --format=dvips config
dvips35.map) and were killed one after the other. After this, I tried
sudo -H /usr/local/texlive/2006/bin/powerpc-darwin/mktexlsr
and it worked! On the other hand,
sudo /usr/local/texlive/2006/bin/powerpc-darwin/mktexlsr
still doesn't work.
I don't know if this is helpful or just confusing, but I wanted you to
know just in case.
