"...when I run <where lilypond> from terminal, it says the command cannot be found." Well, that's probably because on a Unix-like system, the command is "which". I'd add the -a flag for "all": which -a lilypond "I still have a folder /home/ralph/lilypond, with 6 items,..." Is one of them bin? You can check your PATH for lilypond by echoing it: echo $PATH On your system, it looks like it would be /home/ralph/lilypond/bin/ that you'd want in your PATH. "I run <uninstall-lilypond> from terminal..." I don't know what the "uninstall-lilypond" command is, but I think that in Unix-like systems, you just remove the directory. You may want to rename the directory instead, just in case. -- Knute Snortum
