[Tex/LaTex] “Log file not found” error with MacTeX and Texmaker

mactextexmaker

I have recently installed MacTeX.pkg (http://tug.org/mactex/) as well as Texmaker.
I have this famous "Log file not found" problem, and I'm still stuck with it even thought I have already checked many other questions that were previously asked.

Texmaker is pre-configurated to work with MacTeX: there is nothing to change to the settings (if MacTeX is installed correctly, of course). To reset the settings: "Options" -> "Settings file" -> "reset settings". And a new document must be saved with a .tex extension (without spaces or special characters in the name) before being compiled (if the message "log file not found" is displayed, it means that the compilation has failed).
