[pdf] Error 2 / Error 43

[justinquam]

I'm having trouble getting the make pdf command to work. I downloaded the Zip file to my computer, replaced the template bibliography and csl files with my own, and tried to run the make pdf command just to see if I had all the components I needed. I encountered a *** [pdf] Error 2. Running the various sudo commands Tom indicated didn't clear the error. Got this output:

Tom suggested I run pandoc in verbose mode, which I did; I also replaced references to --latex-engine with --pdf-engine.

Running the command now yields this in Terminal:

and this in pandoc.log:

pandoc-citeproc: reference Cousteau1963 not found
Error producing PDF.
! Undefined control sequence.
\LaTeX3 error:
Erroneous variable \c__fontspec_shape_n_n_tl used!
l.3806 \emfontdeclare{ \emshape, \eminnershape }

Any advice?

I'm relatively new to this, so entirely possible I'm missing something obvious.

Many thanks,

Update: This seems to have been resolved by updating the fontspec package in TeX Live Utility.
