Could you try running latex directly (from a terminal) and check if it produces a dvi file. If it produces pdf, you can try using the "-output-format=dvi" switch when calling latex. If it does not help, there may be a probleem in your tex file: some usepackages may convince latex to produce pdf instead of dvi.
