I was just trying to do the basic post-install of running lilypond by itself for the first time, when I noticed that the executable starts, but seems to go no further. None of the stuff I had seen previously from lilypond 2.10.x or 2.12.x. It would just sit there making no apparent progress, after having written about 2.5 MB of data to disk.
