Ok, but is it possible that this symlink erroneously points to

   /usr/local/teTeX/in/i386-apple-darwin-current/pdftex

instead of

   /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current/pdftex

?  I'm not a Mac user and can't reproduce anything.  But a directory
called "in" looks quite strange.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
