I spoke too soon.

This epstopdf-sys amendment (quoted below in red) worked on my laptop (Intel Mac'Big Sur)
BUT: the file does not convert on my desktop (older Mac running Monterey). Both Macs run texlive 2021.

The log is appended here


BTW the console complains the usual: invim.pdf file not found. Well, an automatic conversion was supposed to happen!

Thanks!

Cheers,
George
