This is unfortunately one of the major disadvantages of Debian; if you want to update to a newer version of a single package, you often have to upgrade a most of the system. If you read the installation instructions for Lilypond, you'll find a link to http://people.debian.org/~foka/lilypond/ which contains newer Lilypond versions compiled to work together with the current stable Debian.
Otherwise, I actually recommend that you compile and install Lilypond yourself from the source code. In principle you just have to run './configure', 'make' and 'make install', however you probably have to install a few '*-dev' debian packages to get the necessary include and lib files. Installing 'guile-dev' and 'tetex-dev' should be a good start. /Mats > And when i tried to install 1.4.12 I got this error: > > (Reading database ... 55207 files and directories currently installed.) > Preparing to replace lilypond 1.4.12-1 (using lilypond_1.4.12-1_i386.deb) ... > /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: /usr/bin/kpsewhich: No such file or directory > dpkg: error processing lilypond_1.4.12-1_i386.deb (--install): > subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 127 > /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm: /usr/bin/kpsewhich: No such file or directory > dpkg: error while cleaning up: > subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 > Errors were encountered while processing: > lilypond_1.4.12-1_i386.deb > > so i'm totally clueless on what to do. > TIA > Jule > > On Saturday 27 April 2002 17:30, you wrote: > > Well, i just tried to install lilypond 1.4.12. but when i try to install > > libkpathsea3 it says i have to uninstall tetex-lib, so i uninstall that w/ > > the intention of installing it again after i have installed libkpathsea3, > > but then it wants to unisntall libkpathsea3 when i try to install tetex-ib > > and tetex-bin... > > what do i do? > > > > Jule > > > > ps. i'm using apt-get for most of it. > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Lilypond-user mailing list > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > _______________________________________________ > Lilypond-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
