Re: Cannot install lilypond on a shared Hostmonster server

Hi Mike,

id

will tell you who you are presently.

The $ and # prompt conventions are just that, but they are universally accepted conventions. It would be highly unusual for a UNIX system to be set up for a normal user prompt to be #. That in itself is indicative of the possibility that your Hostmonster system is administered in an unusual, and non conventional manner - never a good sign.

Do let us know the linux system type. I was unable to find it on the Hostmonster website - which is also strange.
