Turns out this is a bug in latex-suite specific to the Mac. I fixed this
(hopefully) in SVN, but I cannot be sure since I do not have access to
a Mac. In the meanwhile, a simple way to get around this is to put
something like:

let Tex_ViewRule_pdf =3D '/path/to/acrobat/reader $*.pdf'

in your ~/vimfiles/ftplugin/tex.vim or .vimrc (I do not know how these
files are named, but you hopefully get the idea).

BTW, even with this warning, viewing should still have worked.

Thanks,
Srinath
