Hello
For several years I have been compiling the lilypond master branch.
.....
root@Villums12:/usr/local/src/lilypond# convert-ly --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/convert-ly", line 51, in <module>
import lilylib as ly
ImportError: No module named lilylib
......
Anyone?
Well, myself: The answer is to be found in line 20 -21 of convert-ly,
further down in the other python scripts. The hard-coded version number
was not updated from 2.15.2 to 2.15.3 :-)
Just at a guess: it looks as though you are installing as root, and
using /usr/local/src as your toplevel directory. You also have two
versions of convert-ly, for example: one in /usr/bin and the other in
/usr/local/bin and your problems are coming from the mixup between
relative and absolute paths.The recommended method is to use the
lily-git.tcl script to create and update a source tree in your home
folder. This avoids the need to install as root, and makes it easier
to avoid path issues.
There is no problem having the installation of lilypond-dev versions in
/usr/local/. I have the latest FontForge versions there too. Frescobaldi
finds it all right. I don't run LilyPond as root, only installs it. FWIW
my first such installation was from SVN sources, not git, and long
before there was any lily-git.tcl script.
Because the instructions for installing lilypond are quite definite
about it belonging in the home folder, this really can't be considered
a bug. My best recommendation, for compiling git master, would be to
start here
<mailbox:///home/vse/.icedove/v2vzahni.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Musik.sbd/Lilypond?number=46183&header=quotebody&part=1.1.2&filename=index.html>,

Being a 68-year-old amateur choir singer still working full-time,
neither a programmer nor a musician, I regrettably must abstain from
other titles than Bug-stumbler... :)
