Re: Runtime errors on OpenBSD

[David Jedlinsky]

Thanks for the hints, Mats.  I am indeed using teTeX 3.0, and didn't
apply the GNUmakefile patch mentioned a while back.  So the
ec-mftrace.map was incorrect (incidentally, "kpsewhich ecb12.pfa"
still works in this situation).  Once I fixed that, the fonts were no
longer jaggy.

I now have lilypond 2.4.5 working completely.  2.5.15 is still not
working, though, if I use lyrics at all.

It's not that simple to upgrade.  My machine is a colo server, located
in a different state from me.  It's much easier to shave yaks (load
and build 54 packages) than it is to get physical access to the
machine in order to change the OS.  Someday, I'll do it, but I'd like
to use lilypond in the meantime.
