I can see only one reason why pdflatex would try to start the
manager: The on-the-fly installation has been triggered because a
file is missing (or pdflatex thinks it is missing). 

But a document and the log-file would be needed to get an idea which
file is causing the problem. And to find out why pdflatex can't
start the manager you will probably have to use debugview:
