Re: Windows install/run error
Hello Gilles, using 2.10.23 version About path(s) where to store program file and .ly files... That is a topic which sounds a bit nebulous to me since my first steps with Lilypond.. I have not examined it deeper as Lilypond seems to accept working through, even if the .log file indicates a possible difficulty as shown in the hereafter copy of the .log file: I get everytime the same first line message impossible de changer le répertoire de travail pour : C:/Program Files/LilyPond Is this a real problem? What should I do? Would you mind giving what should be the right directory configuration to get Lilypond working well? log file copy # -*-compilation-*- impossible de changer le répertoire de travail pour : C:/Program Files/LilyPond Traitement de « C:/Program Files/LilyPond/lily1.ly » Analyse syntaxique... Interprétation de la musique... [2] Prétraitement des éléments graphiques... Sortie mise en page vers « lily1.ps »... Conversion en « lily1.pdf »...

Re: Windows install/run error
If you haven't had LilyPond installed on this machine earlier, I hope that you have tried to log out and log in again after the installation, otherwise there are some settings of environment variables that Windows hasn't noticed yet. /Mats Quoting Gilles THIBAULT [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I just installed Lilypond 2.11.33 on Windows XP, and I get the following error when I try to run: C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\binlilypond c:\lilypond\test.ly GNU LilyPond 2.11.33 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 just installed this version also on XP : no such problem.

Re: Windows install/run error
If you haven't had LilyPond installed on this machine earlier, I hope that you have tried to log out and log in again after the installation, otherwise there are some settings of environment variables that Windows hasn't noticed yet. The environment variable path in Windows doesn't require a reboot (or log in/out). However, if we change the directory installation, the new version of Lilypond add the bin directory to the path variable **but** the unsintallation of the older version don't remove the old bin path. So we have to check and clean up manually this environnement variable. Some problems have perhaps their source here.

I have made a batch file (windows script) to avoid that. But now the new versions seems to have fixed this kind of problems. (Only for using guile alone, as i said in a previous message). Perhaps, try to update to the newest version of 2.10 and see if you get this message again.

The environment variable path in Windows doesn't require a reboot (or log in/out). Are you sure? I know for certain that we have had some problems reported on the mailing list that have been solved by log out/in. Maybe it's the PATHEXT environment variable that caused the problems then. In this specific case, I would rather suspect that there is some other environment variable that was already set before LilyPond was installed, which somehow interferes with LilyPond. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Slighly OT but.. At least you the following does *not* work: open a cmd window update enviroment variables (elsewhere than from opened cmd window) have updated environment variables in the opened cmd window (however, if you open a new cmd window, there the environment is updated) regards, Simon ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Windows install/run error
The environment variable path in Windows doesn't require a reboot (or log in/out). Are you sure? I have done a little test like this : - create new directory : c:\test - add this directory to system environnement path via Control Panel- system - advanced - environment variables - create a batch file named hello.bat in this dir (with this line for exemple : echo hello world) - open a dos windows - enter hello = Windows find and run hello.bat (resulting hello world !) without rebooting or relogging. (and i have not other hello.bat on my drives ...) But there is perhaps a difference with XP pro (i use XP familial edition) I know for certain that we have had some problems reported on the mailing list that have been solved by log out/in. Maybe it's the PATHEXT environment variable that caused the problems then. In this specific case, I would rather suspect that there is some other environment variable that was already set before LilyPond was installed, which somehow interferes with LilyPond. I have noticed only these 2 environment variables (PATH and PATHEXT) that are modified by Lilypond. Have someone noticed another modified system variables ? (The registers are also modified but it is only to make a contextual menu for ly files.)

It works the same when the environment variable is set using the techniques of the LilyPond installer, as compared to setting it via the control panel (it probably does). 2. The setting is seen by programs that are started by double clicking an icon or using dragdrop onto the icon, which is the way LilyPond is used by virtually all first time users. I have noticed only these 2 environment variables (PATH and PATHEXT) that are modified by Lilypond. Have someone noticed another modified system variables ? (The registers are also modified but it is only to make a contextual menu for ly files.) That's correct! No other environment variables are set. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Windows install/run error
Hi all, I just installed Lilypond 2.11.33 on Windows XP, and I get the following error when I try to run: C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\binlilypond c:\lilypond\test.ly GNU LilyPond 2.11.33 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 have used Lilypond on 2 other linux machines without issue and have never seen this error before. I see I have this folder: C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\guile\1.8\ice-9 Am I supposed to modify the windows $PATH somehow so that lilypond can find this file?
