Hi,

I'm trying to install lilypond.     I entered

fink install lilypond-unstable


It went along well for awhile,   then gave me the following  messages:


You don't a valid teTeX installation; you were missing
 /usr/local/teTeX/lib/libkpathsea.a  
/usr/local/teTeX/include/kpathsea/tex-file.h

Install the tetex-texmf and tetex-base packages instead,
or install teTeX manually from
http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html
and then retry installing the system-tetex package.

dpkg: error processing  
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/system- 
tetex_20010808-12_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package system-tetex-20010808-12

I have a working version of   TeXShop,  so I do know that  teTeX works  
fine.   On the other hand,  my /usr/local/teTex  directory has no /lib   
subdirectory.     Nor do I have anything called tex-file.h

I don't know if this matters,  but  after entering  fink install  
lilypond-unstable  I was asked to resolve some dependencies.  Among  
these was


fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency.  
The
candidates:

(1)      tetex-base: Base programs for a teTeX installation
(2)      system-tetex: Placeholder package for manually installed teTeX
(3)      tetex-nox: Base programs for teTeX, with X11 disabled

Since I already had teTex,  I chose [2].      I'm  afraid to try [1],   
lest I screw something else up.

Thanks for your help.
