That's normal, and has been for years.

Well, the problem is either in the git source, or something special on your system. The last change to configure.in was removing some old pango stuff in Nov, which I can't imagine causing this. So what happened recently on your system? Did you move the lilypond git dir onto a removable HD? I had some weird problems with configure, but it turned out that I'd put it on an SD card and the whole drive was marked noexec. (security issue) Did you update macports? A new version of gcc, or make, or automake, or autoconf, or whatever, could cause it. Did you change your .profile ? Maybe you added export PATH=/opt/new/version/of/matlab instead of export PATH=/opt/new/version/of/matlab:$PATH If none of those turn up anything... well, is your HD dying? Apparently the SMART disk checker (in OSX, it's in the disk utility) isn't terribly reliable; google found that a third of their HDs died without any warnings (and nobody on earth who is allowed to publish unclassified research papers uses more HDs than google). But hey, that still gives a 2/3 chance that if there _is_ someting wrong, it'll show up. After all, once we've eliminated the impossible, the only thing left, however improbable, is the cause. Something like that, at least. Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
