Then what do you think "Exec format error" means? I figured that either he's trying to run the intel version, or the download was corrupted somehow. Trying to run the wrong version of lilypond is the most common mistake for OSX PPC users, so it fits.
If the problem was a corrupted download, then downloading the PPC version again should fix it anyway. Cheers, - Graham On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 08:04:57AM +0100, James E.
