Thanks again...
I think I'm going to have to stick with my current version until
someone with better expertise puts together a package for Linux Mint,
whose software manager *still* points at 2.16.2. Someone will get
around to it sooner or later. I've tried building from source, but
the configure phase bombs out because build depends on python3 version
>3.5 and I have version 3.4. I am NOT going to upgrade python and
break loads of other stuff!!!
Hi,
Building from source is not recommended for regular users. Instead, we
provide executable .sh installers you can just run in the shell:
lilypond.org/unix.html
These should work on any UNIX system.
Best,
Jean
