I believe this just means that you don't have /usr/texbin in your PATH.
I found that I had the same problem and it was solved that adding it  
back: since my shell is tcsh, I just created a .tcshrc file in my home  
directory, and put "set path = ( /usr/texbin $path )" inside it (no  
quotes, of course).
Most people seem to use the bash shell, which is the default. A  
similar operation can be done for it, although the syntax is  
different. Create a .bashrc file (if you don't have it already) and  
put inside it a line containing
"export PATH=/usr/texbin:$PATH". Then try and open a new terminal  
window and see if it works. You can also type "echo $PATH$ to see what  
your current PATH variable looks like.
