I did. I appended the (pretty lengthy) results at the end of this
email. Errh. Is it normal that /usr/local/bin and usr/local/share is
owned by "administrator" (the local administrator account I used during
installation of MacOS X)? Could that be the problem?

So, I repaired permissions. From the log it does not seem like anything
in /usr had to be repaired. I first did a complete uninstall and then
reinstalled and reconfigured TeX and all components. I repaired
permissions again, just to be sure. Nothing to repair this time. But
TeX still did not work. TeXShop gives the same result as yesterday.

I do not know what you mean with this, sorry.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks.
