Difficulty running convert-ly under Linux/Ubuntu

[Ralph Palmer]

Greetings -

Jean Abou Samra kindly pointed me in the right direction for the installation of 2.24.0 in Linux with Frescobaldi.

I was successful. Then I tried running convert-ly for all my .ly files, using

find . -name '*.ly' -exec convert-ly -e '{}' \;

on the command line. That was unsuccessful.

I also tried

convert-ly -e $(find . -name '*.ly' -print)

but both of those commands were unsuccessful. In both cases, I got the message

6: exec: /home/rpalmer/lilypond/usr/bin/python3: not found

even though Python 3.10 is in the LilyPond directory. Ah, but I don't see my usr/bin directory. I'm still confused.

Any suggestions?

All the best,

Ralph
