I have the same problem, except that I can't figure out out to solve 
it! The files were created in the local texmf tree and TeXShop couldn't 
find them. Where should these two files be copied to? I moved them to 
the global tree (/usr/local/teTeX/share/web2c) but that didn't help. I 
used Wierda i-Installer, BTW.

Thanks for the help.
