Re: text font problems with 2.6.4 for windows?

[Mats Bengtsson]

I just realized that I could run lilypond from the Cygwin command
line if I added the path to the mingw version to PATH. Then I could
also see the error message when running 2.6.4 (installed without a
previous install of 2.6.3). It's:

>>lilypond testfile.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.6.4
ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "libguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-2", message: "can't open the module"
