Re: Installation problem

[Lukas Giesinger]

Hi Riky and Maxime,

I had the following installation problem with Lilypond 2.4.2:
- Installation stopped at 98% at 
"/etc/postinstall/postinstall-lilypond.sh"
- processing test.ly after cancelling the installation resulted in 
the error message "can't find 'feta20.afm'" and no pdf output.

The following procedure fixed the problem here
(although there may be shorter procedures to fix it):
1. deleted the c:\cygwin folder
2. installed cygwin with NO packages selected (just the cygwin core I 
suppose)
3. installed lilypond
4. installed the tetex-extra package and related packages

After that the setup passed the 98% point where it had usually stopped.

Hope this helps,
Lukas
