Re: setup help

[Mats Bengtsson]

I don't realize where you managed to find RPMs for
version 1.7.9, I can't find them anywhere linked from the
Lilypond web page.

Anyway, I hope that the RPM actually contained the vector
fonts required for making PDF files. The directory
/usr/share/lilypond/1.7.9/fonts/Type1/ (or something like
that) should contain a number of *.pfa fonts, for example
feta20.pfa.

What do the folowing commands return?
kpsewhich feta20.mf
kpsewhich feta20.pfa

Maybe it helps to run the command 'texhash' (as root) to update
the TeX file name database.

If you don't specifically want the PDF files, just use
ly2dvi with the flag -P instead to get just the .dvi and
.ps versions of the score.
