You may have a mixture of teTeX and the other TeX packages. That will
cause all sorts of strange things. My suggestion (this is what I did to
clean up my own goof) is to deinstall _ALL_ TeX distributions and install
_either_ teTeX, or all the other TeX distributions.

I like the teTeX distribution, myself. It's far easier to manage than the
traditional TeX installation.
