[texhax] trouble installing TeX Collection 2013

[Thomas Schneider]

Folks:

I did a completely fresh install on a laptop which has Mac OS X 10.6.8
and found the same problem as before: the 2013 directory in
/usr/local/texlive is not permitted for all users.

Again, I did:

   cd /usr/local/texlive
   sudo chmod -R a+rX 2013

and now LaTeX runs fine.

I'm attaching a small script that checks for this problem and corrects
it using the above code.
