Re: glitch in installing lilypond

[Mats Bengtsson]

It looks as if you are trying to compile it yourself. Fink should
contain prebuilt packages of LilyPond. I'm not a Mac user myself,
and don't know anything about Fink, but 'ar' should belong to
the same category of packages as the compilers, linkers, debuggers
and so on.
