Yup, restarting the Finder did not do the trick as I first thought it would, but logging out and logging in again did solve it (actually, my battery died, so I had to do a cold reboot). The setting that I believe must have been the culprit was TEXINPUTS: It pointed to an old teTeX installation and did not contain the current directory (.). Setting TEXINPUTS to the right value from the command line helped (actually, the value of TEXINPUTS is correctly defined in a ~/.shenv file I include for login shells, but I tested to set it explicitly when invoking BibDesk to make sure), and I could reproduce the exact same error as when BibDesk was launched from the Finder by setting TEXINPUTS to the value in environment.plist. That kind of settles it I guess. Thanks for your help! /Ola PS I now know Aquamacs uses the environment defined by the login shell and doesn't care about environment.plist and therefore it took me some time to figure out the difference: Why was it that Aquamacs could launch pdflatex but not BibDesk?
