Folks:
I got the latest DVD and tried to install. LaTeX did not see the new
2015 installation. I'm attaching a file showing some of the issues
but there are pointers going in many directions and I've gotten lost
as to why some are still pointing to 2014 even though the installation
appeared to go correctly.
Any help would be appreciated. Instructions were not clear about
whether or not to use super user and permissions were messed up too.

So there is the wrong pointer.
Fix it:
sudo mv x86_64 x86_64-2014
sudo ln -s ../../../../../../../usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-darwin x86_64
This failed to create the link!!
The link doesn't show up properly:
lrwx------ 1 root admin 62 Aug 31 17:19 x86_64@
MUST USE:
sudo -s
to see them!!
********************************************************************************
I was at
% pwd
/Library/TeX/Distributions/.FactoryDefaults/TeXLive-2014/Contents/Programs
%
could not fix:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 61 Aug 7 2014 x86_64@ -> ../../../../../../../usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-darwin
cd /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/
put me there. So a link in between is wrong.

So 2015 is missing ...
