Re: lilypond 2.10.25 on Slackware 11 - cannot process russian lyrics

[Mats Bengtsson]

You need to upgrade your version of Freetype to version 2.1.10 or newer.

By the way, doesn't the generic Linux package at www.lilypond.org work
in Slackware? As far as I know, it contains compatible versions of all the
necessary libraries and tools, so you shouldn't get these problems.
