i think i'm all set for now; i found a dotpup package of 2.10.11, and it seems to work well enough for me. i found it at http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/Lilypond-2.10/ , and i downloaded (but didn't seem to need to install) the optional python add-on pup.
i'd still like to know what i did to cause the original problem, though... thanks! -steve On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 11:14 AM, Jonathan Kulp <jonlancek...@gmail.com>wrote: > steve berthiaume wrote: > >> hello, >> >> i'm trying to install lilypond on puppylinux 3.01, and i'm having a >> problem >> with extracting the files: >> >> # sh lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh >> >> LilyPond installer for version 2.10.33 release 1. >> Use --help for help >> >> >> You're about to install lilypond in /usr/local/lilypond/ >> A script in /usr/local/bin/ will be created as a shortcut. >> >> Press ^C to abort, or Enter to proceed >> >> Making /usr/local/lilypond/ >> Creating script /usr/local/bin/lilypond >> Creating script /usr/local/bin/lilypond-wrapper.python >> Creating script /usr/local/bin/lilypond-wrapper.guile >> Creating script /usr/local/bin/uninstall-lilypond >> Untarring lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh >> tail: short write >> >> bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly; >> perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows. >> bzip2: Invalid argument >> Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout) >> >> It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. >> You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. >> >> You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover >> data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. >> >> tar: Child returned status 2 >> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors >> To uninstall lilypond, run >> >> /usr/local//bin/uninstall-lilypond >> >> >> For license and warranty information, consult >> >> /usr/local/lilypond/license/README >> >> # >> i've searched the archives and found this thread >> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-11/msg00551.html, >> but >> the solution seems to be in french, and my languages are english and >> german. >> >> my python version is: >> # python >> Python 2.4.3 (#1, Aug 15 2006, 19:02:50) >> [GCC 3.4.4] on linux2 >> Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >> >> what other info can i post? i've used and installed lilypond on this and >> other platforms before; this is the first time i've had trouble. >> >> thanks, >> -steve >> > > This may or may not solve your installation problem, but you should > consider trying the latest development release 2.11.65 since it's actually > more stable than 2.10.33 at this point.
