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 assume that you have TeX installed correctly?

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