well i tried reinstalling lilypond and all it's packages, and i still get the same problem, ly2dvi hangs in the line:
[localhost:~/Documents/lilypond] jslootbe% ly2dvi -p test.ly Running LilyPond... GNU LilyPond 1.6.0 Now processing: `test.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music...[1] Preprocessing elements... Calculating column positions... [2] paper output to `test.tex'... so i dunno what to do.
