Hi -
I'm now a re-newbie, sort of. I just took the plunge into Linux, from
WinXP, and I've run into a difficulty.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) on a laptop. Using Synaptic, I
was able to install LilyPond 2.10 (I don't remember the release
number). I downloaded 2.12.2-1 from the LilyPond website, and it's
sitting on my desktop. I uninstalled 2.10, but I can't figure out how
to install 2.12 from the desktop file
(/lilypond-2.12.2-1,linux-x86.sh/). I've tried using apt from a
terminal window (using sudo), and I've tried Synaptic from the System
menu, and I've tried Add/Remove programs.
I've tried searching the mailing list archives, but I'm not finding
anything that helps. As far as I can tell, Synaptic is looking for a
.deb file, not a .sh file. I tried running "sh
lillypond-2.12.2-1,linux-x86.sh" as sudo from the command line, but
the shell doesn't like it. I tried bash, as well. The file is a shell
script, right? I can't figure out how to run it.
I would appreciate any help or direction-pointing anyone can give.
(As soon as I can get this resolved, I promise to continue with
indexing. This has been a trying season.)
Peace to all,
Ralph
