Hi Herb and Peter,

Thanks a lot for your kind replies and excuse me for my delayed
response. I've been off for some days.

See my answer further below:

Ups! In fact I wasn't. I tried using xetex, I realize now it should be
xelatex. The error message that I was sending indicates that it
stopped just at the first line. Now with xelatex I get a longer log
file.

Yes, now I can send you more than a one-line log file :)

Yes, so it seems:
kettle:~ souto$ ls ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ | grep -i xe
 XeLaTeX.engine
XeTeX.engine

Oh maybe. It happens sometimes ;)

Yes, I got those two lines from somewhere else (that I was mentioning,
I think).

I get the same result with any of the two methods (either putting
those two lines at the beginning or configuring TeXShop). However, now
I've got some more problems:

1. I can't use other fonts, such as palatino, because the result is a
very poorly typed sans-serif text.

2. I can't use accents (such as for words in Romanic languages: á é í ó ú).

This is my document:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,oneside]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}    % more utf-8
\usepackage[spanish,catalan,british]{babel}
\usepackage[OT2,OT1,T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}

no tengo sarampión

\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

And this are my .aux and my .log files:

\relax

\catcode`\.=12

\catcode`<\active
