well i tried reinstalling lilypond and all it's packages, and i still get the same problem, ly2dvi hangs in the line:

[localhost:~/Documents/lilypond] jslootbe% ly2dvi -p test.ly
Running LilyPond...
GNU LilyPond 1.6.0
Now processing: `test.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...[1]
Preprocessing elements...
Calculating column positions... [2]
paper output to `test.tex'...

so i dunno what to do.

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..

I doubt that this is your problem, but unless OSX does something
really wierd*, you don't need to sudo to use LilyPond.  In addition,
it's recommended that you run "ly2dvi" instead of "lilypond".

* I've never used it, so take all my help with a grain of salt.  :)

paper output to `test.tex'...

where is just hangs on the last line for a long time, this can't be
normal.

I assume that you have TeX installed correctly?

ps, what's a good viewer for Mac OSX to view .ps and .dvi files?

If you have TeX installed, then you almost certainly have xdvi
installed.  "ly2dvi test.ly; xdvi test.dvi" should do the trick.

Cheers,
