Re: lilypond-book problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

You are exactly to the point when you refer to the initialization files,
which (at least in the version you use) are really only necessary when
you want to run lilypond-book. I don't know Gentoo, but in most other
Linux distibutions, the precompiled LilyPond packages install a file
/etc/profile.d/lilypond.sh which means that it automatically is sourced
as soon as you open a new shell (if you use bash).

If you compiled LilyPond yourself, please make sure that you install
this file using
cp buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile /etc/profile.d/lilypond.sh

Don't try to set TEXMF yourself, it's much better to use the solution
already available in the lilypond profile file.
