Re: Fwd: Re: libkpathsea3 and tetex

[Jule]

Hey Mats

i managed to get rid of the apt-get problem, but i think it's an error in the 
packages..it says that lilypond 1.4 needs: tetex-bin, which needs tetex-lib, 
and libkpathsea3.
I have installed the tetex packages, and when i try to intall the 
libkpathsea3 package it says that the package conflicts with tetex-lib. so i 
try to remove tetex-lib and install libkpathsea3, which works, but then i 
can't install lilypond because tetex isn't installed, and i can;t install 
tetex-lib because libkpathsea3 is installed..
so the paths cross somewhere..
i tried everything you mentioned, but it still doesn't work.
