Hi All,
I upgraded my system from Ubuntu 8.04 to 9.04, which included a newer
Lilypond as well.
I'm not quite sure which version I had before; it was some 2.11.x, but
now I'm on the stable branche.

However, there's a crash in Lilypond that is known in a 2.11 release,
but here it is:

bash$ lilypond RedYellowBlue
GNU LilyPond 2.12.1
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
Processing `RedYellowBlue.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music... warning: cannot find property type-check for
`forced-distance' (backend-type?).  perhaps a typing error?

(process:13500): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically
loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly.
This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
  '/usr/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You should create this file by running pango-querymodules.

(process:13500): Pango-WARNING **: pango_shape called with bad font,

(process:13500): Pango-WARNING **: pango_font_get_glyph_extents called

(process:13500): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_fc_font_lock_face: assertion
`PANGO_IS_FC_FONT (font)' failed
Segmentation fault

The pango modules are in /usr/lib/pango/1.6.0/modules, pango.modules
does not exist in /usr/etc/pango, it does
in /usr/local/lilypond/usr/etc/pango/pango.modules.


I can't offer a solution but I can report that I've gotten nearly the same errors and failures on my iMac at work under OSX when I try running it from the command line. Doing pango-querymodules didn't help. Reinstallation of everything likewise didn't help. Oddly, though, Lilypond still compiled files perfectly as long as I used the Compile>Typeset command from the GUI's menu. I hate using the GUI, though. I suspect there's a PATH problem but it hasn't bothered me enough to hunt down a solution yet.

Have you tried uninstalling Lilypond from the repository and then reinstalling using the binary available on the Lilypond website? I would try that next if I were you. I'm running Xubuntu 9.04 and Lilypond works fine for me on it, but I didn't use the package manager to get it, I downloaded from lilypond.org.
