Re: Lilypond & Ubuntu

[Joseph Haig]

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.
