That's your problem. You've installed two incompatible
distributions. Install either teTeX _or_ all the other TeX parts.
They install into two different places. My advice is:

Uninstall all tex packages. If you've installed TeX from the UWash. tapes
and are comfortable with everything lumped together, forget teTeX and
install all other TeX packages. Otherwise, install _only_ the teTeX
distribution and add "/usr/local/teTeX/bin" to your path.

I've done it both ways and prefer the teTeX distribution. Everything you
are likely to need is there and it is _much_ easier to maintain. If you
choose teTeX, you might try running 'texconfig'.
