+
+@subsection My symbols are all messed up!
+
+After I upgraded, I get the wrong symbols and dvi-checksum errors!
+
+We obviously mucked with the fonts in the upgrade.  Remove @strong{all}
+previous fonts, including the @file{.pk} and @file{.tfm} fonts in
+@file{/var/lib/texmf} and your current directory.  A script automating
+this has been included, see @file{buildscripts/clean-fonts.sh}.

+@section Installation
+
+@subsection Where is guile, libguileX, guile-config?
+
+RedHat users need to install guile-1.4 and guile-devel-1.4, Debian
+users need to get guile1.4, libguile9 and libguile9-dev.
+
+If you're building from source, you need guile 1.3.4 or newer.  Verify
+that the correct guile, guile-config, and libguile* in your PATH and
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or @file{/etc/ld.so.conf}).
+
+@subsection I upgraded by applying a patch, and now my configure/build breaks.
+
+Patches don't include automatically generated files, i.e. 
+@file{configure} and files generated by @file{configure}.  Regenerate them 
+yourself:
+@example 
+
+    autoconf
+    configure
+ 
+@end example 
+
+@subsection Is there an emacs mode?
+
+Yes.  It is included with the source archive as
+@file{lilypond-mode.el} and @file{lilypond-font-lock.el}.  If you have
+an RPM or .deb it is in @file{/usr/share/doc/lilypond-X/}.  You have
+to install it yourself.
+
+Add this to your .emacs.el:
+@example 
+    (load-library "lilypond-mode.el")
+    (setq auto-mode-alist
+     (append '(("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode) auto-mode-alist)))
+@end example 
+
+
+@subsection I downloaded the windows32 port, and it doesn't match the website!
+
+The website is usually made from the latest snapshots.  Binary releases,
+in particular the windows32 binaries, are only made every once in a while.
+They may lag several versions behind the latest version.
