Hi Erwin,


not sure about MAC, but for most UNIX shells (i think), a return value
of 127 means "command not found".  It seems some LaTeX packages are
missing.

Most of us use the TexLive distribution, a collection of the most
commonly used LaTeX packages and binaries.

Are you able to execute the command `pdflatex' in a console?
