well, i did that, and now my pdf output is completely mangled. i installed tetex-devel which has kpathsea. (i had to force install this rpm because my tetex installation was in a weird place that rpm didn't find.) then, in my lily 1.6.6 dir i did: make uninstall make distclean ./configure --blah make all make install then i ran make pfa-fonts make MAKE_PFA_FILES=1 install like you suggest in http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/lilypond-user/2002-October/003014.html all of these commands terminated correctly (that is, they returned 0 to my shell). ./configure found my kpathsea and everything... now, running ly2dvi -p on a perfectly good ly file, i get pdf output when things like the letter 'l' for the trebel clef, the letter 'j' for the bass clef, etc. the only output that is correct is the horizontal and vertical lines of the staff, and things like beams. noteheads come up as exclamation marks. this is really fun. the only good thing about this is that everything is infinitely scalable; there are no jaggies when i zoom in really far. any idea what went wrong? should i try installation premade pfa files? if so, how? > /Mats thanks, happy holidays, david _______________________________________________ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
