Re: Windows install/run error

[Gilles THIBAULT]

 

 

I just installed Lilypond 2.11.33 on Windows XP, and I get the following error when I try to run:

C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin>lilypond c:\lilypond\test.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.11.33
programming error: cannot find absolute argv0
continuing, cross fingers
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path

 

I just installed this version also on XP : no such problem.

 

But i think, looking for your 2 path:

      exe path :  C:\Program Files\LilyPond

and

      file path : c:\lilypond

that guile searches the directory "ice-9" in the second path instead of the first one.

Try to compile test.ly from another directory (c:\testfiles\test.ly for example) and see if you get the same message.

 

For me, this message has always occured when i tried to use guile alone (to learn scheme for exemple).I must first change directory to

  "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr" and guile then don't complain anymore.
