Hi -

After my last mail citing problems with TeXShop and tetex on OSX 10.2,  
I downloaded the entire 60MB installer and installed tetex; then  
downloaded the 8/26 version of TeXShop.

Now when I compile a tex file in TeXShop, I get the message listed  
below.

Again, I would appreciate any help in dealing with this.

Thanks
