Version 1.5.7 (1455) with nothing taken from the repository, only what  
came with the installation.

Problems has been solved (for the moment). It appears there was some  
characters (actually white space) that Latex did not like and  
generated lots of error messages for this and so no new pdf.
However, this complaint did not feed back to TextMate for some reason  
(even though I had it on verbose). All very weird.
