Re: Problem with finding fonts in lilypond

[Tazz]

The main problem in Gentoo is that the packages are installed in a
temporary directory and moved afterward if the installation was
completed with success. With other words, the installer of lilypond has
not the right paths but the temporary paths when it is run. When
extracting the tgz myself and reruning the configuration and installer
with the right path option, I did obtain a workable version. I must say
however that I did not try anymore to upgrade to the latest version of
Lilypond ;-)
