So you want to add ‘/usr/texbin’ to the PATH variable.
That shouldn't matter though, since we explicitly look for pdflatex under /usr/texbin
The problem here I think is the one fixed with commit 8619, in that the behavior of "which" has changed in Leopard (in the way it reports failure that is), so our code never makes it to the explicit look of paths (since it doesn't recognize the call to "which" that we make as failing).
Ben, are you running the most updated version of the bundle from the subversion repository?
[...] It appears that the files are there [...] but somehow hidden from the system, but not from TexShop?
Programs (shell commands) are found by looking in the folders specified as a :-separated list in the PATH environment variable.
TexShop likely has /usr/texbin (and probably a few other locations) as a hardcoded place to look for pdflatex, so that it works even w/ o users setting up their PATH.
