Thanks! Unfortunately it didn't work. After uninstalling, I have changed to my home dir and issued $lilypond_install/lilypond-2.18.2-1.linux-64.sh I got the below [...] Untarring lilypond_install/lilypond-2.18.2-1.linux-64.sh tar: ./usr/lib/libgs.so: Cannot create symlink to `libgs.so.8.70': Permission denied [...] It's not clear to me where it's trying to symlink what... anyway I have checked and I have write access to all dirs under ~/lilypond/usr Any more clues please? Many thanks. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
