In that case, why[1] were you trying to run it on the
command-line? If you're not familiar with that interface, then
either stick to double-clicking, or read some tutorials on the
subject. Google searches for:
"linux command-line" and "OSX command-line"
both reveal tons of tutorials. I don't know if any of them are
any good, but surely *some* of them have to be decent documents.
[1] If the answer is "because the GUI is broken on 10.5", then
all I can say is :(
It's not the job of the lilypond manual to teach users how to use
their operating systems. There's *tons* of other help available
on the internet for such tasks -- and a lot of that help has much
prettier pictures than we'd have the patience to create.
