I had this problem awhile ago and it was a permissions thing. Try 
going into Terminal and typing
"pdflatex file.tex"  where file.tex is something you want to tex in 
your home directory.  See what it
says.

I didn't have the same problem as C. Dube as the installer didn't 
complain -- it was just something I had done
at some stage that screwed the permissions.
