Last night I successfully installed Lilypond 2.5 through Fink on Mac
OS X (10.3.7). At first, it wouldn't install
due to an error with mftrace. I then downgraded mftrace from 1.1 to
1.0 (i.e. by switching Fink from "use unstable packages" to "don't use
unstable packages" just for mftrace, and then switching back to
unstable to get Lily).
1. Was it OK to do that? (Lilypond works OK in preliminary testing
anyway)
2. Now that I've done that, do I need to prevent Fink from updating
mftrace to 1.1 again?
I recommend that you use Lilypond 2.4.2 (use fink unstable, fink
install lilypond). Lilypond
uses a version number scheme where x.odd.y means unstable, and x.even.y
means
stable. Lily 2.4.2 is actually newer than 2.5.0. :)
If you want to use bleeding edge software, then you could use the fink
experimental
packages for Lily 2.5.10 (or so). Search on lilypond-dev for
instructions on how to
do this, but unless you know what you're doing, I recommend against it.
