Re: mysterious error from ly2dvi

Here it is. I noticed that the file titledefs.tex had been installed in 
/usr/share/texmf, whereas
my texmf tree is in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf. I copied the lilypond 
directory over there,
but I still got the same error message. I even tried copying titledefs.tex into 
the same
directory where my .ly file is, and even that doesn't seem to help! I don't 
know why TeX
doesn't find the file if it's sitting right there.
