Hello: I recall that one of the pages in the Lilypond documentation specifically for Mac OS X suggested a second way to set environmental variables via Property LIst. I created that suggested Property List but the path for Python began /System/Library (I cut and pasted it from the example.
However typing env in a command line window reveals this path for python: PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin No System in front of it! I installed the Mac OS X Python package as well, so there was a conflict between those two paths. I logged out of my account and logged back in to see if the change had been made. convert-ly still failed. I've restarted and attempted convert-ly with the same results. My current version of python: Python -V Python 2.5.2 Python shell: Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> which Python: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/Python env PYTHON_DATADIR=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/ PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin: (etc.) Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC 1Ghz iBook G4 The only change I can see to make would be to be more explicit in the Property List and add the line as in the result of "which".
