Then you've got Fink on your machine, and that's possibly the cause of  
your problem. There may be Fink binaries (possibly another kpsewhich)  
which are found before the i-Installer installed ones, or search in  
Fink's TeX-related directories instead of the i-Installer-installed  
ones. There are special versions of Fink packages (maybe system-tetex,  
I don't remember and don't use Fink myself) that allow correct  
interaction with i-Installer's teTeX.

Does deleting, *and* then re-running the configuration stage of the TeX  
i-Package make a difference?
