/home/tomc/bin probably isn't in your $PATH. I'm going to guess that
to add it to your path you'd have to modify (or create and then
modify) the /home/tomc/.bashrc and add
PATH=$PATH:/home/tomc/bin/
export PATH
I think the last line has to be blank, I'm not sure. And again, I've
never done this on anything but OSX, but it looks similar, and
hopefully that helps. And believe me, I know exactly how frustrated
you are.

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.
