If I try what TeXShop does from the command line ...
$ simpdftex latex --maxpfb my_file.tex
### This is /opt/local/bin/simpdftex, Version $Revision: 2.18 $

I checked the syntax for simpdftex and it appears that it is being
called correctly ... for some reason simpdftex appears to skip the
creation of the dvi file.
However, latex + dvipdf works correctly.
$ latex my_file.tex; dvipdf my_file.dvi
But then I I'm not able to make use of TeXShop's editor / previewer.
Thoughts?

p.s. I'm not using pdflatex because I'm including eps files via psfrag.

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.

Citando Ben Abbott :
I've installed TeXLive 2007 and TeXShop, via MacPorts.
When I attempt to run TeXShop's "default script" for "Tex + DVI", I
get a dialog with the message below.
----------------
/usr/texbin/pdflatex does not exist. Perhaps TeXLive was not
installed or was removed during a system upgrade. If so, go to the
TeXShop web site and follow the instructions to (re)install
TeXLive. Another possibility is that a tool path is incorrectly
configured in TeXShop preferences. This can happen if you are using
the fink teTeX distribution.
----------------
I changed the path to indicate /opt/local/bin, and then I get ...

I need psfrag for my document so pdftex will not work for me.
Any solution and/or suggestion would be appreciated.
