It seems to not be the good tex (at least if you use a recent installer)
Even with texlive 7, I have
[yoda:~] mbova% latex --version
TeX (Web2C 7.3.7x) 3.14159
kpathsea version 3.3.7
perhaps you are using an old tex (by fink ?) with recent pool-format files.

1 - try
% which tex
in terminal
2 - Look at TeXshop pref panel -> engine : what are the paths ?
