"No" isn't an answer to "which version of gs runs, LP's or the system's?" On my system, the easiest way of duplicating your error is: Correct: $ ~/lilypond-2.19.42.1/bin/lilypond e.ly GNU LilyPond 2.19.42 Processing `e.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music...

Just one further question: if you install the .sh file again, but using the --prefix /tmp/whatever, and it fails as usual, what files does /tmp/whatever/lilypond/usr/lib/ contain? Are any of them zero-length? Cheers, David. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
