* A reasonably new C++ compiler: EGCS 1.1, GCC 2.95.2 or newer.
Check out the gcc site (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/).
- * Python 1.5, Check out the python website (http://www.python.org).
+ * Python (version 1.5 or newer; not 2.1.x) Check out the python
+ website (http://www.python.org).
- * GUILE 1.3.4 or newer, check out the GUILE webpage
+ * GUILE 1.4 or newer, check out the GUILE webpage
(http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html). Version 1.4 is
recommended for better performance.
(ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry).
This package is normally included with the TeX distribution.
- * MetaPost, needed for generating PostScript fonts. Please note that
- tetex-0.4pl8 (included with Red Hat 5.x) does not include
- `mfplain.mp', which is needed for producing the scalable font
- files.
-
- If you don't have MetaPost and don't want to use PostScript
- output, then edit `mf/GNUmakefile', removing the line saying
- `PFA_FILES='.
-
* kpathsea, a library for searching (TeX) files. `kpathsea' is
usually included with your installation of TeX. You may need to
install a tetex-devel or tetex-dev package too.
./configure --without-kpathsea --enable-tfm-path=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/ams/symbols
+ * pktrace, [OPTIONAL], needed for generating PostScript Type1 fonts.
+ Get it from `http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/pktrace/'
+
+ * autotrace-0.27a, [OPTIONAL], needed for generating PostScript Type1
+ fonts. `http://autotrace.sourceforge.net'.
+
+ * MetaPost [OPTIONAL] needed for generating PostScript Type3 fonts.
+ Please note that tetex-0.4pl8 (included with Red Hat 5.x) does not
+ include `mfplain.mp', which is needed for producing the scalable
+ font files.
+
+ If you don't have MetaPost and don't want to use PostScript
+ output, then edit `mf/GNUmakefile', removing the line saying
+ `PFA_FILES='.

Running requirements
--------------------
* pnmtopng. The original is at in the pnmtopng FTP site
(ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/applications/pnmtopng-2.37.2.tar.gz).
- * Bibtex2html (http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/ftp/bibtex2html/), or
- Bib2html (http://www.uni-koblenz.de/ag-ki/ftp/bib2html/).
- Bibtex2html is available in debian, while bib2html is in some rpm
- based distributions. Bib2html, in turn depends on man2html for
- proper installation. man2html can be had from
- http://askdonald.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de/hppd/hpux/Networking/WWW/Man2html-1.05
- (http://askdonald.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de/hppd/hpux/Networking/WWW/Man2html-1.05).
-
- The website will build without bib converter utility, but you will
- not see our hypertextified bibliography.
-
* texinfo (a development release) The documentation will build with
texinfo-4.0, but if you want split html pages, you're best off
using the lates pretest version from texinfo-4.0b
libstdc++-devel, guile-devel, flex, bison, texinfo, tetex-devel, groff,
libgr-progs.
- Warning
-
- There appears to be a problem with the Xdvi shipped with Red Hat 7.1.
-Symptoms: Xdvi responds very sluggishly or hangs while viewing lilypond
-output. The cause for this problem is unknown; you are advised to
-recompile Xdvi from source.

increase it like this:

For Debian in development ("unstable", the future 2.3 or 3.0):

- python-base libguile9-dev tetex-bin libkpathsea-dev \

And, just so that old fonts from previous versions of LilyPond won't
Note that this is fixed in Debian/unstable for flex >= 2.5.4a-13.
+Python-2.1[.1]
+--------------
+
+ Regular expressions are broken in Python 2.1.[.1], either upgrade or
+downgrade python.
+
+Linux-2.4.0, Guile-1.4 -with-threads
+------------------------------------
+
+ There's a bug in certain kernels around version 2.4.0, that is
+triggered when using Guile 1.4 compiled with pthreads. You'll see
+random segmentation fault crashes of LilyPond. Upgrade to a newer
+version of Linux. If you can't do that, you may try to recompiling
+Guile without threads (YMMV):
+
+ guile-1.4$ ./configure --without-threads; make all install
