I am using a Mac and am not experienced enough to understand the manual and 
requirements mentioned there. All the extern programs won't work, telling my,

\book {

\include "../001Test/001Test.ly"
}
-------8<---SNIP-----------------------------------


and got the following errors (this is just the first few of many many errors:
