Right, Han-Wen gave me the heads-up about that off-list. I had trouble
with this some time ago. At that time I got some help here about that.
I didn't understand some of the instructions at first. Eventually, I
was left with the impression that all I would have to do is to place a
copy of lilypond-profile in /etc/profile.d/ (I'm on RedHat 9.0) and all
would be well. It has been working fine for several upgrades. In fact
it was working just fine just recently without changing anything. I was
using v2.1.25.hwn1 yesterday and this morning. Then after a re-boot I
was getting the "can't find lilyponddefs" thing.
I did:
echo $TEXMF
...and my current LilyPond version (2.1.27) did *not* appear. I did:
. /usr/src/lilypond/buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile
echo $TEXMF
...and 2.1.27 *did* appear.
Now, however, if I login again, or close any open consoles and open a
new one and do 'echo $TEXMF' my current LilyPond will not appear. This
can't be right.
But I'm learning; I see that I had put a file lilypond.sh in
/etc/profile.d/ but in that file I had not specified the line:
. /PATH/TO/lilypond-profile
Now I have done so. It points to the lilypond-profile in the LilyPond
source tree. Everything is fine now.
The mystery still stands, though: Why was it working fine before and
then suddenly stop?
Thank you all for your patience,
David
