Re: music-drawing-routines.ps

[Mats Bengtsson]

I don't know any details about how Slackware has packaged things,
but it looks as if the problem is that the environment variables
are not set correctly. LilyPond comes with a script called
lilypond-profile (or lilypond-profile.sh) that should be sourced
to get the correct environment variable settings. In Red Hat-like,
installations, this file is placed in /etc/profile.d/ which means
that it will be automatically sourced as soon as you start a new
shell (or maybe it's only when you login, I don't remember).

Another possible problem that I know has appeared in some packaging
of LilyPond is that only root had read permissions for some of the
files under .../share/lilypond/.
