Sweave not working in Rstudio - found path, but how to set?

I am having the same problem as described in this post. That is, I am getting a "No TeX" installation detected. I did reinstall tex after I received the Yosemite-beta OS. I located the paths to tex at the terminal using the following command: 

/usr -name pdflatex

And, I came up with the following paths. 

/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/universal-darwin/pdflatex
/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-darwin/pdflatex

I am wondering which path I should use and the specific file to be constructed. The post I am using as a reference suggests:

$ sudo -s "echo /usr/texbin > /etc/paths.d/TeX"

I'm not proficient in the terminal, so I am a bit afraid of doing too much at the command line unless I know for sure what I am actually doing.

Thanks in advance.
