Thanks John, 

I worked out the issue and it was an old symbolic link to pdflatex 
(pointing at the 2015 installation) in /usr/bin/local that was causing the 
problems. Deleting the symbolic link has now resulted in Pandoc 2 working 
fine. Thank you for your help and appreciate everything that you have done 
with Pandoc.
