Are you sure ? I think that the pdflatex-Version is: pdfeTeX 3.141592

In my prefs of TexShop, i've  pdflatex --shell-escape  and my choice  
for the compilation  is LaTeX.

All my log files start with This is pdfeTeX, Version  
3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) without problem.

I take the example here : http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=pdf/ 
pdfoutput and the run is made with pdflatex.

I suppose that I have the file ps4pdf :
locate give this :
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin6.8/ps4pdf
/usr/local/bin/ps4pdf

With the command line :  ps4pdf /Users/ego/Boulot/Work/pst-pdf- 
example.tex create  a pst-pdf-example.pdf but in ~/ego.

altermundus:/usr/local/bin ego$ sudo /usr/local/bin/ps4pdf /Users/ego/ 
Boulot/Work/pst-pdf-example

/usr/local/bin/ps4pdf: running latex /Users/ego/Boulot/Work/pst-pdf- 
example.tex
/usr/local/bin/ps4pdf: running dvips -Ppdf -o pst-pdf-example-pics.ps  
pst-pdf-example.dvi
/usr/local/bin/ps4pdf: running ps2pdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None pst-pdf- 
example-pics.ps pst-pdf-example-pics.pdf
/usr/local/bin/ps4pdf: running pdflatex /Users/ego/Boulot/Work/pst- 
pdf-example.tex

But I prefer to work with Texshop and especially TexTmate and not  
with the command line.

I try %!TEX TS-program = ps4pdf but it's the same error
