Update: I have tried to build the latest tar on my system, but I got the following errors - interestingly all to do with symlinks:
70: extrac07.at:27 extracting symlinks to a read-only dir extract extract07 read-only symlink 76: extrac13.at:26 extract over symlinks extract extrac13 90: incr01.at:27 restore broken symlinks from incremental incremental incr01 I'll send the report to the tar people, but I suspect my system is somehow broken at a fundamental level. I am considering trying to install earlier versions of lilypond. Would that help? Has the installation style changed at some point? I forgot to mention that many years ago I was able to install it, with the same hosting provider (though sure enough the OS has also changed since).
