problem getting MIDI output from lilypond

[Colin Cotter]

Hi,
I'm a new convert to lilypond and have been very pleased with the output 
it produces as well as the ease of input. I have a question about 
generating MIDI output.
I have included the following in my .ly file
\midi {
\tempo 4=100
}
and have typed 
lilypond -m trousers.ly
(where I have chosen -m to suppress the .tex output)
but I get no messages talking about MIDI and no .midi files are created.
Have I typed something wrong, or do I need additional software to use MIDI 
with lilypond?
Thanks in advance,
Colin Cotter

Hey,
thanks for the info,
I downloaded the .deb and when i wanted to install it i got this:

Preparing to replace lilypond 1.4.12-1 (using
lilypond_1.4.2-0potato1_i386.deb) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: /usr/bin/kpsewhich: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing lilypond_1.4.2-0potato1_i386.deb (--install):

dpkg: error while cleaning up:
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 lilypond_1.4.2-0potato1_i386.deb

where do i get /usr/bin/kpsewhich:

i tried to look on apt-get but i got this:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: The package lilypond needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive
for it.

i'm totally clueless again.

 This is unfortunately one of the major disadvantages of
 Debian; if you want to update to a newer version of a
 single package, you often have to upgrade a most of the
 system. If you read the installation instructions for
 Lilypond, you'll find a link to
 http://people.debian.org/~foka/lilypond/
 which contains newer Lilypond versions compiled to
 work together with the current stable Debian.

 Otherwise, I actually recommend that you compile and
 install Lilypond yourself from the source code. In
 principle you just have to run './configure', 'make'
 and 'make install', however you probably have to
 install a few '*-dev' debian packages to get the
 necessary include and lib files. Installing
 'guile-dev' and 'tetex-dev' should be a good start.

  And when i tried to install 1.4.12 I got this error:
 
  (Reading database ... 55207 files and directories currently installed.)
  Preparing to replace lilypond 1.4.12-1 (using lilypond_1.4.12-1_i386.deb)

  so i'm totally clueless on what to do.
  TIA

   uninstall that w/ the intention of installing it again after i have
   installed libkpathsea3, but then it wants to unisntall libkpathsea3
   when i try to install tetex-ib and tetex-bin...
   what do i do?

edit /etc/apt/sources.list
put entries for unstable after testing.  Then try apt-get install 
lilypond/unstable.
