Sure, if you could install to /usr/local and have it Just Work (TM) that'd be very nice. But I already tried that before sending my first message and it doesn't work - if autopackage finds any GS in /usr , it never gets around to checking /usr/local . At least on Ubuntu 5.04 (what I'm using right now), lots of packages depend on GS and removing the GS package provided by the distro will cause breakage. There might be a way around it in Ubuntu and Debian by symlinking /etc/alternatives/gs to /usr/local/gs , and in Gentoo by doing a "fake install" of the distro-provided package (although Gentoo, being Gentoo, will probably have the latest anyway), but I don't know about other distros. > PDF is generated from the PS by ghostscript. I didn't know that, but maybe I should've guessed. Anyway, GS-ESP-8.01 (the one that's installed by default on Ubuntu 5.04) generates readable pdf without complaining. I should also mention that I did manage to get Lilypond installed (that's how I know that the pdf is readable) by passing the -d flag to the .package and <snip> , which the people in #autopackage suggested to me as a last resort. Maybe I'm wrong, but I got the impression that it's undesireable for normal users to pass -d flags around to .package(s) . - Guy. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
