Description of problem: lilypond will not execute because key files are not found, even though the package is installed. Critical files are in /usr/share/lilypond/2.16.1/scm. Being written in Scheme, these are essentially the executables. But these files are not in the PATH, so the application fails instantly. I added the folder to the path in my .bash_profile, but that's not a system-wide fix. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Completely. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a test text file called test-file.ly. It doesn't matter what's in the file. 2. lilypond test-file.ly. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Jim, I tried your file on three different boxes, all mga3. Lilypond converts on all of them into a pretty pdf on all three boxes. Did something go wrong during your installation? One was upgraded from mga3, the others were virgin installs.

I uninstalled and reinstalled lilypond, reverted my path to its previous state, and lilypond now works fine. Probably something went wrong during install, as you suggested. Thanks for your attention!
