I downloaded the exp version, which installed without comment (that I could tell: some of those post-install scripts put up a dos-like window for a few seconds, wrote something in a few miliseconds and disappeared!) This is on windows XP, with all of microsoft's updates installed to date.
When I ran lilypond from the icon on the desktop, I got the congratulations MOTD with all the web addresses. Everything looked fine. When I ran ly2dvi -P odhecaton1.ly I got an mbox with the white x on red background saying lilypond.exe - Entry Point Not Found (in the titlebar) X The procedure entry point posix_regcomp could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll I installed on E:\cygwin. In E:\cygwin\bin, cygwin1.dll bears the date 11/14/2001. One possibility, I could suppose, could be from the download: I started from the html server, and partway through a texmf download I fell offline. When I restarted, the html server couldn't be used, so I told it to use the ftp server. I now have two directories under cyginst, with all sorts of escaped characters in them, one for each server. However, when I ran setup to install from the local directories, I got no complaints, and it installed from both lilypond and the texmf tars, stuff that spans both directories. I can't quote the lilypond version or any of that because cygwin kinda doesn't work without being able to access the specified posix_regcomp function, but the install was supposed to be 1.5.62jcn. Thanks for any illumination! raybro _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
