Hello, I think there is an error in this installer: http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/linux-x86/lilypond-2.7.27-1.linux.sh
At line 85 the tar command should be with options -xjf and NOT -xzf. Apparently the file is in bzip2 format and not in gzip. The entire line should be this: tail -c+000000001411 $0 | tar -C $lilydir -xjf - Thanks, Saulo Falcão _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
