Hi there. I haven't found any references to this problem on the mailing lists or elsewhere, so I hope my input is useful.
On my Arch Linux system, fully up-to-date, with the latest texlive in Arch's testing repo, I get the following error when trying to build lilypond 2.14.1 from source: "Sorry, I can't find the 'mf2pt1' preload file; will try 'plain'.This is MetaPost, version 1.504 (kpathsea version 6.0.1)" I am left with an mpost prompt. To hack around the problem, I had to make a minor change to scripts/build/mf2pt1.pl (line 429) in addition to the patch provided by Arch (http://goo.gl/5o1xs): - execute_command 1, ("mpost", "-mem=mf2pt1", "-progname=mpost", + execute_command 1, ("mpost", "-mem=../../mf2pt1", "-progname=mpost", Obviously this isn't a proper fix, but it allowed lilypond to compile and run. If you need more info, I'll be glad to provide it. Thanks! :) _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
