The log file is epspdf.log in your home directory.

Your hand-compiled epspdf.app apparently DOES work, but doesn't solve
the path problem.

What happens if you run it from the command-line? I.e.

ruby <path to epspdf>/epspdf.tk

I have to think what to do about the path problem; whether there is
a clever way to make the script use the same path as when run from
the terminal, or whether I should just add some likely directories
to its private search path.

I guess I'll have to create a separate Mac archive if I don't want
to mutilate epspdf.app.
