Non-intrusive installation of stable 2.8.5 |

I had to install some decent recent Lilypond-version and
downloaded lilypond-2.8.5-1.linux.sh
Looking into the shell-script I found
===
Options
--prefix PREFIX install into PREFIX/lilypond/ (default: $prefix)
--batch no interaction
--tarball extract tar file for archive
--help this help
===
and extracted the tar-ball. I would prefer the whole thing in a tree
for itself.
Therefore I extracted the whole ball into /opt/lily and tried with ldd
whether Scientific Linux (SL-43) has the required libs for
ldd /opt/lily/usr/bin/lilypond. (odd path by the way.)
Works nicely.
A small script /usr/local/bin/lilypond starts the /opt/lily binary.
I think the script does something like that.
Making a symlink from /opt/lily/usr/bin/lilypond to
e.g. /usr/local/bin/lilypond does not work. Apparently lilypond checks
out wherefrom it is run and grabs the libraries accordingly.
I had to change the python-path in convert-ly, probably the installer
would change the Python path to the included python; I can see that most
of the required programs and libraries are included in the tarball.
This way the system is not at all changed by the Lilypond package.
I think that others might want to know. Regards/Donald
