Why not use the Windows version? That installs as
you would expect and works exactly like the Unix
one?

Sure, if you're up on your
Linux, no problem, but the Linux world is drawing a number of people
who come from other backgrounds (i.e., Windows), AND don't have a lot
of time to study up.

./progname
or adding it to your PATH environment varia

Ok - report from the trenches: an install as administrator really does
solve this problem. My 2.11 version now runs just like my previous 2.10
did. I'm back in business.

You need to add the folder that lilypond is in to your $PATH. Then,
linux will know to look in that folder as well for executables,
regardless of which directory you're actually in. Apparently on linux,
according to carl, you add to your /home/tomc/~.bashrc:

Tom,
I would suggest uninstalling from the home directory and re-installing
with "sudo" to make it system-wide. After that simply use the "lilypond

Oh. Bingo.

This most definitely sounds like a path problem. In order to execute
from within the directory of the lilypond bin, you still need the ./
prefix (Carl's comment above):
./lilypond
If I were you I would install as root (su root or sudo or whatever you
have). Then all your executables should show
