Mark, for best results, reply all, so that the community can either benefit from the input here, or help.

Because I'm not a Fedora user, I can't tell you from experience how to do most of what you're trying to do. Have you tried installing all of the binaries from the download pages? It could be that the Ghostscript 7.07 from the lilypond page are compiled with your very problem in mind. Considering that at least one of LilyPond's authors seems to use Fedora 4 as his main distribution, I would be very surprised if such things don't work.

Thank you for your response, Josiah.

Regarding the links you mentioned; the 'Ghostscript' link is the RPM for
version 8.15 and 'compatibility libraries' are Ghostscript 7.07
libraries.

The 7.07 libraries are already installed from stock Fedora Core 4
installation files.

Ghostscript 8.15 would be incompatible with Fedora Core 4 since GS 8.15
requires an earlier version of libcrypto (libcrypto.4.so) and libssl
(libssl.4.so).  Therein lies the conflict.  There are just too many
Fedora Core 4 files that rely on the installed versions of libcrypto
(libcrypto.so.5) and libssl (libssl.so.5) to make it practical to revert
to the earlier versions.

Any ideas on how to resolve these conflicts?

Thanks,
Mark

On the download page, under the heading for version 2.6, the Fedora4 binaries are listed first. In the third text column (under "Go here"), you are given the links to "Download LilyPond, documentation, Ghostscript, compatibility libraries". I would suspect that these links will give you what you want.

Hi,



I think LilyPond is a great application and look forward to learning more about it as I use it. I recently installed Fedore Core 4. I downloaded LilyPond version 2.6.3, i386 RPM and tried to install it. There was a problem. The version of Ghostscript that is supplied with Fedora Core 4 is 7.07. LilyPond 2.6.3 requires 8.15 and above. So I found an 8.15 Ghostscript RPM, downloaded it and tried to install

it. Ghostscript 8.15 requires libcrypto.4.so and libssl.4.so. The Fedora Core 4 release comes with new versions, libcrypto.5.so and libssl.5.so. Is there any way to reconcile these differences? There are many Fedora Core 4 files that rely on the later versions of libcrypto and libssl so it is not practical for me to revert back to the early version of these files.



Thank you,

Mark
