Lilypond was one of the first things I installed when I did
a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 upgrade. It worked fine immediately for
me, and I think all I did was run the script (not as
sudo--probably should have) by double-clicking the script's
icon and choosing "run" when asked what it wanted me to do
with the file. I've had no problems with it. I've also
installed Lilypond using Add/Remove programs or synaptic,
but the Ubuntu repository has a pretty old version so it's
probably best to download and install yourself.

How exactly did you extract Lilypond?
If you have downloaded the shell script
(lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh) and run it as root, it should now be
installed in /usr/local/. It is possible that /usr/local/bin is not
in your path. What happens when you try:
$ /usr/local/bin/lilypond
I am using Lilypond on Ubuntu and I have never had problems running it.

I am struggling to get Lilypond even running in the latest Ubuntu. It seems to
have downloaded and extracted in a Lilypond folder but I cannot find a way to
run it - even in terminal by typing Lilypond.
Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated. I have used this some
months ago on a colleagues pc and it looked superb, exactly what I need for
scoring music written for our church.
Thanks in anticipation...... Peter Gifford, Radlett, UK
