WILLY_ME  I also had this problem. It is a problem with MacTeX. The upgrade to Snow Leopard kills a symbolic link required to operate. It is an easy fix. Just enter the following command on the terminal:

sudo ln -s /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/i386 /usr/texbin

This assumes an Intel processor - but SN requires one so it is a safe assumption. If you are using a different version of MacTeX then you will have to change the command accordingly.

WILLY_ME  A smaller version of mactex is available on their webpage - ~50MB. It will work for 90% of the people who need tex. It is called BasicTeX.

It is listed here:

If you require a portion of TeX not included in BasicTeX you can install the required part via the "TeX Live Utility" - do a Google search to find where to download it.
