In PATH I have "C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin". It is a correct path (the folder exists). When I type lilypond: GNU LilyPond 2.12.3 programming error: cannot find absolute argv0 continuing, cross fingers ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path: ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path I use Miktex 2.9 x64.

What's in your PATH > statement? ------ I reproduced this 'error message' on my Linux box. I downloaded the sh file and installed LilyPond and I know it works because I did some simple test stuff on it by creating a test.ly on my desktop and running via CLI while being CWD in /Desktop: lilypond --pdf test.ly All works. However if I try to run lilypond against a file in a 'relative dir' (rather than in the same dir) I get the same problem --snip-- james@james-OptiPlex-990:~$ pwd /home/james james@james-OptiPlex-990:~$ lilypond --pdf ./Desktop/test.ly GNU LilyPond 2.14.1 ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path: ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path james@james-OptiPlex-990:~$ cd Desktop/ james@james-OptiPlex-990:~/Desktop$ lilypond --pdf test.ly GNU LilyPond 2.14.1 Processing `test.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music... Preprocessing graphical objects... Finding the ideal number of pages... Fitting music on 1 page... Drawing systems... Layout output to `test.ps'... Converting to `./test.pdf'... success: Compilation successfully completed james@james-OptiPlex-990:~/Desktop$ --snip-- Now this may be expected, as I have for the last two years used LP on a Mac or with Windows using the drag and drop method. I rarely if ever used LP in a CLI context and never on Linux until now. My path is james@james-OptiPlex-990:~/Desktop$ echo $PATH /usr/lib/libfm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/james/lilypond/usr/bin/ So maybe this is the same issue. Is this expected? I haven't read any documentation :) I just assumed that all I had to do was point to my LP bin dir and I could run it on any file as long as I gave the full path.
