Re: lilypond Pukes Thanks to Fink/TeTeX

[Mats Bengtsson]

The thing is that LilyPond uses the file lookup mechanism used
in teTeX (the so-called kpathsea library) to be certain to find
the same files as the TeX related programs. If the distribution
you mention uses the same library, then it might be fairly easy,
otherwise it can get really messy.
However, since the coming versions of LilyPond generate Postscript
or PDF output directly, without using TeX, the situation will
probably change.
