This seems associated with the space in the file name "Giac  
Latex.tex": the dvips in MacTeX looks for GiacLaTeX.dvi (without  
space) while latex created "Giac Latex.dvi" (with space).

This might be caused by some change in the dvips default settings in  
the more recent 2007 distribution of TeX used for MacTeX (as opposed  
with the circa 2005 distribution used for your teTeX-based gwTeX).

Short remedy: suppress the space or replace it with any character, -  
say.

Hope this works,

Bruno Voisin
