That's not the real error; it's a symptom of the error.

The binary tetex packages don't work properly now due to changes in some
of the system-installed stuff. 

You'll need to install via source via the following sequence of commands:

1)  Install Xcode 3.1.3
2)  Run the following:
fink index -f
fink selfupdate-rsync
fink install tetex-base

You can replace selfupdate-rsync with selfupdate-cvs if you prefer.  And
everything but "fink index -f" has a Fink Commander analog.

You shouldn't need to do "fink index -f" anymore after this.
