:) I was answering to the second question, after setting that env variable manually and rerunning lilypond. Anyway, I think we are getting somewhere, thanks. Whichever gs I invoke *directly* on the resulting .ps, I get a .pdf with no errors. Be it ~/lilypond/usr/bin/gs or /usr/bin/gs So something happens when gs is invoked via ~/bin/lilypond, which makes it behave as if I were running ~/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond (which I'm not). [~]# cat ~/bin/lilypond #!/bin/sh me=`basename $0` export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home1/myusername/lilypond/usr/lib" exec "/home1/myusername/lilypond/usr/bin/$me" "$@" > 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? No. See full output below. I didn't realise tar was still under active development, and indeed I see a relevant change in 1.24: " Extracts symlink attributes, such as last-modified time and link permissions, if the operating system supports this " I do think this is the root cause. I'll try and download/compile/use a more recent version - although I have no experience in doing this kind of stuff, so I'm not holding my breath. Thanks!
