The solution is to install TeXLive 2007 or 2008, or to edit the paths file (in OS X 10.5 Leopard or later). Does this start the LaTeX interpreter? If not, then the PATH setting is probably incorrect. To test this, open Terminal.app from the finder and type “pdflatex”.

(Aquamacs versions 1.3 and older were more lenient in this respect.) If pdflatex (or latex, etc.) aren’t found when the LaTeX command is executed, then this may be due to an incorrect PATH setting.
