[OS X TeX] unrecognized option

[Peter Pagin]

Hi George,
this happened to me as well. It comes from the engine preference  
setting for pdflatex in TeXShop. There should be a space between '-- 
shell-escape' and '--synctex=1'. Just put in a space and things are ok  
(as far as this problem goes).

I thought this setting came from TeXshop defaults but Herb Schulz  
convinced me that this wasn't the case. Now I am less sure again.

Best,
Peter
