Dear JD,I'm not sure I can help much but will just write two things that come to mind.
Did you double check that the path /usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond exists, and is not just a slightly different path? When I install lilypond from https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/v2.24.1/downloads/lilypond-2.24.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz the binary is usually found at /path/to/lilypond-x.x.x/bin/lilypond, not /<..>/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond. Something doesn't seem right about the path to lilypond and python3, as if it is supposed to be /usr/bin/{lilypond,python3} without /usr/local/lilypond appended to it. But again I haven't tried installing in this way.
My other guess is it is a sort of permissions error, like that directory or file is owned by a different user.
Other than that, hopefully someone else will be of better help. -Will On 4/11/23 20:04, JD Margulici wrote:
Hello, I am running the following commands to install Lilypond on Alpine Linux:wget https://lilypond.org/download/binaries/linux-64/$LILYPOND_INSTALLER <https://lilypond.org/download/binaries/linux-64/$LILYPOND_INSTALLER>sh $LILYPOND_INSTALLERwith LILYPOND_INSTALLER set to lilypond-2.23.6-1.linux-64.sh <http://lilypond-2.23.6-1.linux-64.sh>The installation proceeds without glitches. However when I try to run Lilypond I get the following error message, which in spite of its apparent simplicity is rather cryptic since the file that is not found actually exists:/usr/local/bin/lilypond: exec: line 4: /usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond: not foundSimilar error with lilypond-book:/usr/local/bin/lilypond-book: exec: line 6: /usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/python3: not foundI found a 15-year old post that reports the same error, but the resolution was not clear: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-01/msg00725.html <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-01/msg00725.html>Thank you for your help!
