Thanks for helping. It is not a Samba mount or NFS, to my knowledge. I am definitely not using it from Windows or anything, I'm just logging in via puTTY. I am able to create symbolic links, but I think the script is trying to create them where it cannot tar: ./usr/lib/libltdl.so: Cannot create symlink to `libltdl.so.7.2.0': Permission denied If it weren't for that "./", I would have interpreted the above as trying to create a symlink in /usr/lib (where I cannot do it) linking into ~/lilypond/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.2.0 (I can see that file there). To illustrate what I think might be happening: [~]# ln -s ~/lilypond/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.2.0 libltdl.so [~]# ls -l libltdl.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 guilioco guilioco 49 Jun 4 12:35 libltdl.so -> /home1/myusername/lilypond/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.2.0* [~]# ln -s ~/lilypond/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.2.0 /usr/lib/libltdl.so ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libltdl.so': Read-only file system [~]# _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
