Thanks all for helping me track down the problem. As you suspect it
was a path issue. Quite a while ago now, I found that fink's copy of
teTeX was breaking my TeXShop installation as I was using TeXLive
with TeXShop and the higher precedence of fink's version caused a
variety or problems. The solution from consulting with the fink user
list was to append fink to the paths (vs. prepend). This solved the
problems for quite a while, but now it seems to have created its own
problems now. Now I am using the official TUG MacTeX distribution
(which is TeXLive) so I will see if there are still path issues. It
would be a "bad thing" I think though if fink broke the standard
supported on the Mac LaTeX package in favor of an obsolete (in the
sense of no bug fixes/development frozen) teTeX. I understand it is
a lot of work to support MacTex (as it is while free, quite large),
but there should be a way to get around this problem by changing the
fink command so that when invoked it prepends the correct bits to its
path so that the old hack of append the fink path bits at the end of
the path variable will work again. In any case, at this point I have
yet to see if the conflicts still exist. Perhaps this is a non issue
now. I will check.
