Re: Newbie Q: Problem Installing Lilypond/Win98SE/Cygwin

[Mats Bengtsson]

This problem has appeared a couple of times on the mailing list
recently. Could you please try the following:
- rerun setup.exe and make sure that the package tetex-bin is
  selected.
- If the tetex-bin package is installed and you still get the same
  problem, open the cygwin command window, run the command:
  cygcheck kpsewhich
  and send the result back to the mailing list.
