Hello, In my Debian like Linux (actually Kurumin) installing lilypond works fine, without complaints, but I cannot use it because my system still finds some old version (2.4.0).
I have been using lilypond since 1.4.12 or alike, and in this system of mine it has been quite complicated to have an up to date lilypond without compiling it myself, which I never managed, for lack of libs. The installation of Lilypond 2.4.0 never worked, and I endend up installing the lilypond-snapshot package for 2.4.1, which works fine (except emacs mode, which the attempts to install 2.7 have confused). I have directories of old lilypond versions (2.2 and 2.4) scattered through my system which did not give any problem until now, and were not dealt with the uninstalling procedures. Even if I try to install in a user, it finds the lily 2.4.0. Can someone help me to perhaps rename to lilypond-2.8.1 the Lilypond comand for the recent package, or to get rid of the old linking or path? I am afraid to lose the lilypond-snapshot 2.4.1 and remain with no working lilypond, which has become essential to me. Lilypond has improved extraordinarily since 1.4 and even since 2.4 and I look forward to use the improved figured bass. TIA, Luise Marion Frenkel. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
