Howdy,
You are trying to process the file using pdftex rather than TeX
+Ghostscript. You can check off the Typeset->TeX and Ghostscript to
temporarily change to that engine. You can make all files compile that
way by default via the TeXShop->Preferences->Typesetting->Default
Script preference. The best way to guarantee that TeXShop chooses the
correct engine is to put the line
%%!TEX TS-program = latex
for TeX+Ghostscript or
%%!TEX TS-program = pdflatex
for pdflatex processing.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
