Re: Compiling Lilypond-2.3.11 on Slackware 10

I'm cross-posting to lilypond-user, to increase the chance
that you get help from some Slackware user.

I was wrong, you probably have to logout/login again to
make bash read the profile files. Hopefully this helps

Which indicates that the lilypond-profile file wasn't
read.

If you are eager to get started (waiting for some Slackware
user on the list to provide more help), just run
. /.../lilypond-profile
in the shell where you want to run LilyPond.

In another mail, you wrote

If you did 'make install', you should leave LILYPONDPREFIX unset.
The same goes for LANG, unless you want your programs to speak
some other language than english. If you try to set the TEXMF
variable yourself, it's very likely to get wrong, that's why
we have the lilypond-profile file.
