OK! Now we can compare the ldd outcome! François Pinard wrote:

I just used Lilypond per SuSE 6.4 CD-ROMs, without compiling it myself. It seems to depend on `libguile.so.6'. Are you sure you are executing the correct `lilypond' binary? Maybe you have another on your PATH, elsewhere?

This is what i get when i try to run LilyPond now (i've de- and re-installed once more): #lilypond lilypond: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libguile.so.6: undefined symbol: qt_error And here's the outcome of the commands you did: #ldd /usr/bin/lilypond libguile.so.6 => /usr/lib/libguile.so.6 (0x4001b000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40096000) libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 (0x4009a000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400e2000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400ff000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) #rpm -qf /usr/lib/libguile.so.6 guile-1.3.4-59

Strangely, I tried `jazz' and it says it cannot write to MIDI. On the other hand, I once wrote a sequencer which works for me. Let me see... Yes, it opens `/dev/midi00' for writing. While `jazz' speaks of `/dev/sequencer', if I remember correctly.

With me KMid, Brahms, RoseGarden and Jazz claim that they can't find /dev/sequencer and therefore they don't want to play for me...:-(

However, I _never_ had any success, on any SuSE version so far, at _reading_ MIDI. I do not even know how one should normally do that.Yet a while ago, my younger brother got MIDI reading to work installing Cakewalk on a Win95 partition on my machine, so I would be not tempted to say it is an hardware problem. If I was able to read MIDI into Linux, I would surely be happy. I also easily live without it: there is so many things to do anyway, everywhere, that I'm never bored! Overwhelmed, maybe, but bored, never! :-) > Well i 'NEED' the MIDI in Linux, otherwise i have to continue working in Win which i absolutely don't like.

IceWM documentation says that is is Gnome compatible, whatever that means. I guess that Gnome specific applications would run under IceWM. It was also said to be among the two fastest window managers, and I tried the other one, but was not at all attracted by the bunch of big icons, all over. I just tested IceWM, it's quite interesting and FAST! But i can't find any file manager isn't there supposed to be one? The Gnome applications are all on the menu in IceWM. I also tested running IceWM as Gnome window manager and that worked fine.

hierarchy to represent my habits and tastes. There is a nice `icepref' tool to set one preferences, written in Python and using GTK, that gives me the right amount of capabilities. I do not need so much extra fuss anyway. Of course, I added `icepref' to my own menu! :-) I just looked for some kind of a config thing there and it wasn't on the menu, shall i just run 'icepref' on terminal? (of course i will have tryed that before you reply on this!...:o)

What file?

You `.ly' file. If I run it here with standard SuSE 6.4 tools, so should you on your side!

Han-Wen gives me the impression of being rather responsive. Did you try collaborating with him?

No, who's he? You mean reporting to the LilyPond team?

One of the two Lilypond creators and maintainers. You know, I much, much prefer relating to people than to committees, teams, or bug-tracking systems. Han-Wen Nienhuys has always been very speakable, from my viewpoint. Cc:ed, why not! :-) I thought i read on their home page that asking for help directly from them should sort of be the last thing one should do..:^] I have in fact been

That would be interestin, but there are quite a few .ly files so i'm not sure which of them it should be! trying for quite a while now without any results, so perhaps....
