TeX should have been installed by fink since it asked me to install 
packages that went along with lilypond. i tried running lilypond w/o 
sudo and it couldn't find the program, so i assumed it was not in my 
users PATH.
when i try to run xdvi it says that it cannot load the graphic engine..
i'll try to install tex again, although i'm not sure what package it is, 
when i run fink apropos tex
  i   tetex-base       1.0-11       TeTeX is an implementation of TeX for 
UNIX
  i   tetex-macosx     20010808-4   Mac OS X-specific modifications to 
teTeX
  i   tetex-texmf      1.0.2-6      Main texmf tree for a teTeX 
installation

these three come up as installed.

so i'm not sure what could still be wrong..
