Thanks, Graham. So here's what Peter (and I) need to do, assuming that you moved the LilyPond app off your desktop and into the Applications folder:
1) Open a new terminal window. 2) Type: nano 3) In the program that opens, type <Ctrl>R. Type .profile and hit <Enter>. You'll probably get a message: ".profile" not found, which is fine. If that's what happened, skip to step (6) 4) Look in the file that loaded and see if it has a line that begins: export PATH= If it doesn't, then go on to step (6). 5) Move the cursor to the end of line that begins: export PATH= and add this to the end of it: :/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin Make sure to hit <Return> at the end of that line, and make sure not to add any spaces before the colon, which has to be there. My line looks like this: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin (It's all on one line, with a space between export and PATH, like this: "export PATH" Upper and lower case makes a difference! Now skip to step (7) 6) Type: export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin 7) Type <Ctrl>O (that's a letter o, not a numeral 0). When it prompts with "File to save", type: .profile and hit <Enter>. If it asks if it's OK to overwrite, you should be able to say "Yes" safely if you followed the instructions above. Note that I am NOT responsible if, instead of doing anything useful, your computer does something catastrophic, or just quits working the way you want it to. It shouldn't happen, but I make no guarantees. 8) Type <Ctrl>X, which closes the editor. 9) Type: exit and hit <Enter> 10) Close the terminal window. 11) Open a new terminal window and see if lilypond-book works now. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
