Mandriva 2005 LE has lilypond 2.5 included in the contrib repository

[mandrake tips]

Dear Lilypond developers,

referring to your download page:
http://lilypond.org/web/install/
I just want to let you know quickly that Lilypond (2.5.11) has been
included into the Mandriva distribution (Thac no longer packages for
Mandriva/Mandrake), people have to add the repository "contrib" and then
will be able to install it with the command:
urpmi lilypond
which then solves all dependencies, including the ec-fonts-mftraced.

I did find one issue, one required lib has no generic link set to it, as
the following warning made clear:
$ lilypond
GNU LilyPond 2.5.11
/usr/share/guile/1.6/srfi/srfi-13.scm:159:1: In procedure dynamic-link
in expression (load-extension "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1"
"scm_init_srfi_13"):
/usr/share/guile/1.6/srfi/srfi-13.scm:159:1:
"libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1", message:
"libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so: cannot open shared object  No such
file or directory"

to solve this, one has to do the following:
as root:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so.1 libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so

I will also contact the packager of guile/libguile and ask him to fix
this... hopefully soon, the only thing a regular user has to do is the
"urpmi lilypond" command and start using it.

Thanks to all developers for this excellent and impressive program!

With kind regard,
Rob Teng a.k.a. aRTee
