I wonder whether there is a critical configuration file, such as
/sw/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, that may have been overwritten. There
are probably other such configuration files that might be involved.
Perhaps an alternative to removing all your tex packages would be to
contact the (US) TeX Users' Group, http://www.tug.org/. A list of TeX
user groups is at http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html.
I have actually tried installing tetex again from scratch into a
different directory, with no success. I then found out that latex still
works properly on other documents (producing dvi output). I could then
narrow down the problem to a sequenced of macros I used, which always
was working fine (although I am no tex macro expert).
If I comment out the following, dvi output is again produced by default:
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined%
\pdffalse%
\dynamicfalse%
\else%
\pdfoutput=1%
\pdftrue%
\dynamictrue%
\fi%
Note that old LaTeX distributions never had the problem that pdf only
was produced due to these macros. So the problem seems to be a
compatibility problem.
