/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.2" not found, required by 
"lilypond"
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.4" not found, required by 
"lilypond"

 By using quick and dirty symbolic links pointing to the
current libraries, libm.so.4 and libc.so.6, the FreeBSD
Lilypond 2.9.26 build from the site works, at least as far
as issuing the help message when invoked with no arguments.

  I'd certainly like you to support FreeBSD 6.x.
The version of Lilypond in the FreeBSD ports is the ancient 2.2.2.

  I have added /lib through that filter to the tar file because
libc.so.* and libm.so.* are there.  I'll send you a private email
with a link to the file on a private page on my web site.

I get the following error installing 2.9.22 and 2.9.24.

Cannot open /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/VeraBd.pfb
