Hello, Raven

today I installed lily 2.4.2 on my daughter's computer on suse 9.1. As 
you may already know, I had some error message about pfa-fonts, but that 
could be ignored.
As I thought about your recent problems, I installed lily keeping 
texinfo 4.6. I compiled FontForge (recommended for mftrace on Han-Wen 
Nienhuys' site) and that needed xfree-devel, I think. Also python-devel 
was needed, but I think this was all. Make ended //too many errors, gave 
up and so did make install, but nevertheless I did get a fully 
functional install of Lilypond.

In ..../lilypond2.4.2/buildscripts/out I did  "mv lilypond-profile 
/etc/profile.d/lilypond.sh" and relogged. Then tried 
..../lilypond2.4.2/input/simple.ly and it worked OK.

This installation is without documentation because of texinfo 4.6, but 
apart from that it should be all right.

Hope this helps, if you still had problems.

Best wishes,
Tapio//
