Still compiling problems on SuSE 7.1

[Amelie Zapf]

It seemed it was the problem with the lilypond makefile that Jörg Anders posted
recently that prevented Lilypond from compiling.

Yet after I copied every conceivable directory to /usr/local/share/lilypond, it
still does not work. When I try to process the example "menuet.ly", I get the
following error messages:

address@hidden:~/music/input > ly2dvi menuet.ly
*** Temp directory is `/var/tmp/@20253.1ly2dvi'

The "make htmldoc" worked, however.

Any ideas?
