Interesting. The terminal returns cant find PDFLatex.

I went to  /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin6.8/pdflatex and  
there it is PDF Latex.

If I click on it I get:

/georgeghio/local/teTex/bin/powerpc-darwin6.6/pdfeWelcome to Darwin!
tex; exit

/georgeghio/local/teTex/bin/powerpc-darwin6.6/pdfetex; exit

  %&-line parsing enabled.
  (/georgeghio/local/teTex/texmf/web2c/cp8bit.tcx)
**

And if I enter pdflatex I get:

**pdflatex
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdfetex.efmt
mktexfmt: No such file or directory
I can't find the format file `pdfetex.efmt'!
logout

Now I can see pdflatex there but the terminal cant nor can TexShop. Any  
ideas?
