First of all, using the MacTeX distribution of TeX Live, you should set any paths in your editor to point to /usr/texbin, not to the particular folder for the distribution. This is so that subsequent updates will not require you to reset these paths. /usr/texbin will always point to the binarie...
Thanks for the extended answer, I appreciate it. I did exactly as you told me to do but my texclipse still cannot locate eforms.sty. How can I tell texclipse to look into the Library folder?
What is the result of kpsewhich eforms.sty from a new terminal window? It should return /Users/<yourusername>/Library/texmf/tex/latex/acrotex/eforms.sty Does it?
That clearly means that you've not quite done everything right. Just to be sure, what does kpsewhich article.cls return? It should return /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls. If that works, try touch ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/foo.sty and then kpsewhich foo.sty. (This is just for testing.)
When I execute kpswewhich article.cls I get like yourself this /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls. However when i try kpswewhich foo.sty I get nothing once again.
Ok. So that's also right. Don't worry about the doc for the moment, it's not so important. This is quite puzzling. Just to be sure, did you install TeX Live using the MacTeX installer or some other way?
Yes, that might be the fastest (even though I'm sure there's a way to fix things, if you have adequate bandwidth, installing the MacTeX would probably be easier.)
You should be able to install on top. If you do that, everything that you've done so far with Acroread won't have to be redone (so that should just work.)
