Re: Cannot install lilypond on a shared Hostmonster server

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Mike,

The lilypond installation uses symlinks in its /usr/lib area to link to versions of shared libraries in the same directory, not in /usr on the system.

For example, we have:

libtiff.so -> libtiff.so.5.2.0 (in the same directory).

To this extent, lilypond is self contained.

Are you able to make a symlink to any file under your own account? This would seem to be a permissions problem with your login accout.
