TeXLive & TeXShop with Tex+DVI

[Emmanuel Hainry]

Could you try running latex directly (from a terminal) and check if it
produces a dvi file. If it produces pdf, you can try using the
"-output-format=dvi" switch when calling latex. If it does not help,
there may be a probleem in your tex file: some usepackages may convince
latex to produce pdf instead of dvi.
