No. ~/bin is not in the $PATH by default. If you look at the 2.12 documentation (I haven't started reading through the 2.13 documentatio)n, the end of the page has: Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file called .profile in your home directory such that it contains export PATH=$PATH:~/bin This file should end with a blank line. hope this helps _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
