I don't know how to find the time to learn enough, so I'm going to have
to ask for help here.
I've installed developmental ver. 2.11.56-1 from the Ly website (nice!
no compilation needed - thanks).
But I cannot get execution. My OS = Kubuntu Linux 8.04.1.
The installer created these 2 directories:
* #1 - /home/tomc/bin - the installer script's console output said that
this would contain a script "created as a shortcut". It doesn't give a
name for the script. Not helpful. This dir's contents:
abc2ly
convert-ly
etf2ly
lilypond
lilypond-book
lilypond-invoke-editor
lilypond-wrapper.guile
lilypond-wrapper.python
midi2ly
mup2ly
musicxml2ly
uninstall-lilypond
The only thing here that's looks like it might be the shortcut script is
"lilypond". My user acct. owns it, and it's marked executable, but...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ lilypond
The program 'lilypond' is currently not installed. You can install it
by typing:
sudo apt-get install lilypond
bash: lilypond: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$
I have no idea what's up at this point.
* #2 /home/tomc/lilypond/ - this contains a lot of stuff. Nothing I've
yet seen or found tells me what this is. The README in root begins "This
installer contains an aggregration..." What are they talking about?
Doesn't make any sense to me. What IS this stuff?
At this point I'm feeling rather stupid, and exasperated that someone
hasn't left a more clear trail. I believe it's called documentation, and
since I wasn't born knowing about this directory I need to be told. I
simply have not the time to go on another hunting trip to figure this
out. I'm already three hours down the road with this new install as it
is, and still have nothing working...and it's 3:20AM. I'd like to know
how NOT to have this sort of experience, but short of taking 6 months
off to learn...whatever...I cannot imagine what would do the trick.
So...can someone tell me what I should do at this point? I just want to
get on with USING this new install, if possible.
Thanks in advance. I'm dead in the water without the generous help of
this list.
