Background ever since the time i've tried to update lilypond, i haven't been able to get it working. last night i tried to install version 1.6.6 from an rpm onto my redhat 7.3 machine. when it complained about not being able to find the fonts i (randomly) removed the .pk and the .tfm files that were in /var/lib/texmf, /var/spool/texmf, /var/tmp/texmf or /usr/share/lilypond/1.6.6/fonts/ directories, but i removed the /usr/share/lilypond/1.6.6/fonts/pk directory or the tfm directory. that didn't seem to do anything.
the i unpacked a lilypond-1.6.6...tar.gz ran sh buildscripts/clean-fonts.sh and it didn't remove anything. i tried to rpm -e lilypond but that resulted in an error because it was searching in /usr/share/share/lilypond... which doesn't exist. i even removed the lilypond/1.6.6 directory, but it still can't remove lilypond and therefore i cannot intall it from rpm, because it thinks it is installed. then i tried to compile it from scratch and it complained that the .scm files didn't exist, probably because the build was not clean. Question: 1. how can i clean everything up? i.e. remove any trace of lilypond, make rpm know that it is not installed? 2. once that is done should a rpm of lilypond get the software installed??? thank you for any advice you can give me. joel smith _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
