Sorry to keep banging on about this, but I can't help feeling that somebody must know the answer! My .guile file reads: (use-modules (ice-9 readline)) (activate-readline) I find the following: 1) If I run 'lilypond scheme-sandbox' I get a message saying: /usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/ly/scheme- sandbox.ly:3:2: error: GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning here # (load-user-init) readline is not provided in this Guile installation In 'top' I can see that the actual running command is '/usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond scheme-sandbox'. 2) If I run '/usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond scheme-sandbox' directly from the command line, I get guile complete with readline. This doesn't actually matter too much now that I have discovered that the longer form of the command works as expected, even though the shorter one doesn't. But how is it that I get different results from two command line entries which end up running the same actual command?
