Hi Jacques! First, I tried following the installation instructions inside the tar.gz file that is provided for Mac at the xpdf website. The instructions I followed were these:
1. Copy the executables (xpdf, pdftotext, etc.) to to /usr/local/bin. 2. Copy the man pages (*.1 and *.5) to /usr/local/man/man1 and /usr/local/man/man5. 3. Copy the sample-xpdfrc file to /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc. You'll probably want to edit its contents (as distributed, everything is commented out) -- see xpdfrc(5) for details. As that didn't seem to work, I removed everything and then tried the pre-compiled binary (.dmg) that can also be found there. However, when I looked inside the folders, I found the executables had not been installed. Therefore, I removed all the files again so now everything is like it was before my first attempt. This morning I have re-read the installation instructions copied above and discovered something intriguing. The first point says "Copy the executables (xpdf, pdftotext, etc.)..." however, there is no xpdf executable inside the tar.gz file. A quick search on Google shows that other users have had the same problem (even when compiling xpdf themselves). Could that be the source of my problem? For the moment, I found a workaround. I opened the Lilypond-mode.el file and changed "xpdf" for "open" on line 346. This way, Preview is being called instead of xpdf. Any suggestions?
