Re: guile for lilypond on Red Hat 9

[Christopher Ellis]

Peter,

A little while back I was trying to figure out how to
get lilypond 1.8 on RH9.  Make sure that you have read
the following archived message titled "problems trying
out 1.7.29-1 and 30-1" so Han-Wen won't have to repeat
the message.

This one may not have caught your eye (because of the
title) but it is relevant to your problem.  Just to
let you know, I never got lily 1.8 running on RH9.  I
even went to the trouble of doing a "minimal," fresh
install of Redhat without any guile on the system.  I
was able to install the guile-1.6.4-7.1.i386.rpm, but
there was no difference.  I got the same errors I
always got.  I finally gave up on RH9 because of some
rpm weirdness.  It was telling me things were not
installed that were, things were installed that were
not, and it hanged a lot of times.  I am speaking of
the command line rpm.  Make sure that you are using
the command line rpm and not the software installer or
whatever its called.  Anyway, I felt guilty asking for
more help when my system seemed to be playing with my
mind.  I switched to mandrake 9.1 and lilypond 1.7.23.
 Please post back if you get something to work as I am
sure there are others in this situation waiting to
hear of someone else having success.

Chris
