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..
