Did you download version 2.12 from the website and install it via the
shell command explained on the download page?
On Linux, the installation doesn't result in any icons on the desktop.
It installs the LilyPond executable (in your /home folder, unless you
install it as root) and then you access it from the command line.
Try this, open a terminal window and type
lilypond -v
and see what is returned.

There a couple of problems I'm experiencing:
1) Trying to use Ubuntu (it's Ibex), I just can't seem to install
LilyPond (ver. 2.10.33-1) correctly. There's no icon for it on the
Desktop. JEdit (4.3pre16) works fine...but there no "obvious"
connection between the two...hence WHY I think I haven't installed LP
the way it should. And then again, I'm pretty sure that LilyPondTool is
set up OK with jEdit.
2) In the past (pre-Ubuntu or ANY Linux use on my part), and now, I've
also installed these 3 programs on my XP box. At least there I've got
the icon on the Desktop. But dragging the sample to it produces an error
message about how the .pdf file doesn't exist.
I sort of remember that in the past that a path needed to be set a
certain way...but like I said, 'sort of remember'.
If you can respond (soon) it sure would help me a lot...it's snowing
(again) and I have no need/plans to go anywhere. Just the perfect time
to start working with Lilypond once again.
Thanks,
Mischa
