And note too that this is looking first for a script texi2dvi. If you
have that, *it* will look for pdflatex, possibly already knowing where
to look.
Also note that both the usual texi2dvi and tools::texi2dvi will
consult environment variables such as PDFLATEX.
If you have a standard Mac TeX installation such as MacTeX, it should
contain texi2dvi. So this seems to be entirely a path problem.

Federico,
both are entirely irrelevant - run
system("pdflatex --version")
in R - that is the only thing that counts. If it shows an error, then you don't
have pdflatex on your PATH which would be the problem. As a side note, you are
showing two separate TeX packages which may not help you to find out what
breaks in your setup in general ...
Cheers,
Simon

My comment is, pdflatex *is* availiable:
$ :/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin$ ls -l pdflatex
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 21 Oct 2010 pdflatex -> pdftex
and
$ :/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-darwin$ ls -l pdflatex
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 21 Oct 2010 pdflatex -> pdftex
Before anyone asks:
$ :/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-darwin$ ls /usr/texbin/pdflatex
/usr/texbin/pdflatex
so that's not the issue.
