Re: publishing to PDF

[Erwin Panen <erwinpanen@fastmail.fm>]

  Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for your very fast reply :-)
Yes, I can issue 'pdflatex' from a console:
-------------------------------------
macbook:~ erwin$ pdflatex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009)
**
-------------------------------------

I assume it must be a matter of config?
