Hi,
I'm just trying out -- eagerly -- Alex Ross', er, lasersox's (great anagram work, btw ;) new Latex2 bundle, which promises (much desired, much welcomed) speed. Now, I stumble upon a dialogue prompt titled "pdftex" asking for "Enter file name", to "Send" or "Send EOF" (the latter, "end of file"?!, cancels everything). I'm stymied (a word I learned from LaTeX many years ago). What to do? what file to provide? Of course, falling back to the Latex legacy bundle, TeXing proceeds, while slowly, uninterrupted. Btw, I'm still on TeXLive-2008 (hell, I'm still running 10.5, even).
Any help would be highly appreciated (I did look for, but I did not find any clarifying documentation).
Kindly, Hans

Hans,
Can you paste a minimal example that does this? Usually this happens when latex is expecting a file it can't find, like a style file.

Peter,
thank you very much for your answer. I guess, your suggestion is right: I think some of my input files, namely my preamble file, do not reside at their TeXLive default location, or wherever TeX expect them to live. This, if I remember correctly, used to be a problem that could be fixed with some command line magic. Is this true?
Right now, my input files reside at: ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/misc/ .
Any hint, how to tell Latex2 to look there for stuff?
My typical latex file looks (very boringly) like this:
http://pastie.textmate.org/private/1mgqlt1jymp8o76zxsyafw
So, the file "praewide_TM" is in the folder ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/ misc/.
Thanks again for your help!
Best, Hans
