I recently upgraded to Mac OS "Lion" on my MacBook Pro 13" (late 2011).
I hadn't used OzTeX for a while, and when I saved a previous file that
I had produced in the AlphaX text editor (latest version) in order to
change it and produce a new DVI file, OzTeX would not type set the
file. No log file was produced from the "save as" so when I went to
invoke OzTeX (using command t as usual) the message Alpha gave me was
simply:

/bin/sh: line 1: pdflatex: command not found
TeX returned non zero exit status

Warning: no log file found

When I opened OzTeX manually, and tried to tex the file I got the
following message

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (no format preloaded)
**&LaTeX BurkeAuthorization2.tex
Fatal format file error; I'm stymied.
Rebuild the format file or use a different config file.

Memory allocated: 2814638 bytes.
Time elapsed: 0.0 seconds.

Can anyone help to fix this? I am not very knowledgeable in LaTeX (as
you can guess).

Thanks

Julian

AlphaX assumes you're using MacTeX and not OzTeX that hasn't been
updated since some years.
