Hey everyone,

Pardon my confusion; I've been doing a lot of stuff here and
I've not yet figured out what causes what.  Among the many
things I've done recently is this command (from CG 2.1.2
"Requirements"): $ sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond

Not sure if that was what put texi2html on my system, but if
it was, it put an older version (1.78 I think).  But 1.82 is
needed to build the docs, so I wonder if that's something
that can be fixed?  No idea how all of this works.  I was
able to compile version 1.82 from the sources, so I'm fine
with that, just wondering if the build-dep package needs
tweaking.

To see which version is installed right now do 

  texit2html --version

If it says 1.78, then do 
  
  sudo apt-get remove texi2html

Then cd to the directory where you built 1.82 and do "sudo make install".

If it already says 1.82 then you're in business and don't need to do anything further.  Ubuntu has had this outdated version for a long time. I always have to build it from source, and in fact I included 1.82 in the lilybuntu remix I made a while back. I don't know who's the package manager for Ubuntu but I sure wish they'd put the new version in the repo...
