Did you try with a fresh install with no previous config file(s)?

TXS uses the default paths, for instance:

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

that lead to "Could not start the command" error.

It is necessary to specify the entire path, which is, at least with
MacTeX:

/usr/texbin/pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

but, once again, using the button to navigate in the directories to
pick up the right command, at least for "pdflatex" leads to:

/usr/texbin/pdftex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

instead of:

/usr/texbin/pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

so the user has to be manually add "la".

This problem was already encountered with MacTeX and TexmakerX:

http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2010-January/014205.html

This person also was facing:

  1. a "Could not start the command" error (default path had to be
  replaced by the entire path). But this error didn't arise with
  TeXshop, so maybe it is not MacTeX's fault...

  2. "pdftex" instead "pdflatex" entire path.
