Okay, so TeX Live 2007 Basic is installed on OS 10.5.2, but it doesn't work. I'm procrastinating by not using any number of servers that run LaTeX to do my homework and I've set out to fix it.
First, there are missing packages that it complains about, for me it was
moreverb, fullpage (included in preprint), and
wrapfig. CTAN has all of
them. Hot. You may have to read the directions, eg in Terminal, run
latex moreverb.ins to give you the .sty.
Create ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/
[TeX on Mac OS X] and
put the directories in there. It just works. I suppose you could put them in
/usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-dist/ as the root user for
everyone, but I have not tried.

[IEEEtran & Fonts] I got
lw35nfss.zip
from CTAN.
I put lw35nfss/fonts/ to ~/Library/texmf/fonts/
(and for the hell of it, lw35nfss/tex/latex/psnfss to
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/psnfss.) And now it works, just barely.

As far as I could tell, these files are in reqired and should be,
well, required. I downloded
the font files, but
they, of course, don't work. There's a lot of confusing and self-conflicting
information out there that involves playing with your configuration files as
root, but I just don't care that much. I did this,
sh-3.2# texhash texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-config/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-dist/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-local/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-var/ls-R... texhash: Done. sh-3.2# mktexlsr mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-config/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-dist/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-local/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-var/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done.
but it didn't do anything. Whatever, it works.
