Hi all,
I've installed the latest lilypond dev version 2.19.42 on ubuntu 16.04
following the instructions on the lilypond website:
http://lilypond.org/unix.html
namely with:
$ sh lilypond-2.19.42-1.linux-64.sh
But when I cd to my home directory and run
$ lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond test.ly
I get this warning and fatal error:
GNU LilyPond 2.19.42
Processing `test.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...

-f/tmp/lilypond-IqnFXX)' failed (256)
fatal error: failed files: "test.ly"
The test file is simply:
\version "2.19.42"
{ c d e f }
Any suggestions? I also have lilypond 2.18.2 installed via the ubuntu
software center (or maybe it was installed when I installed Frescobaldi
via ubuntu software center, I forget) and it runs fine. The two versions
are installed in different locations:
2.18.2: /usr/bin/lilypond
2.19.42: ~/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond
Thanks for any tips. (I'm a new immigrant wandering wide-eyed through
the twisted streets of GNU/Linux software installation procedures.)
