To this, I would ask, which LaTeX distribution do you have installed?  (Mac OS 
X does not come with a LaTeX distribution by default, though most OS X users 
seem to use MacTeX, http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/.)

If you are using MacTeX, it's also important to know where you have it 
installed.  If you used the default location, you might try to execute texhash 
with the sudo command:

sudo texhash

This will give texhash admin rights for your computer, and allow it to 
read/write to protected directories.

Just some thoughts.

Cheers,
