If you don't know enough about Linux to do that, I don't recommend this. I suggested several much simpler alternatives: use dvips and ps2pdf to convert dvi to pdf, download and use a script that does that for you, or configure your package manager so musixtex will be updated to a version that installs that script. You currently have working TeX and musixtex packages.
