Re: PNG output cannot be created with Mac OS X version of Lilipond 2.18.2-1

[田村 淳]

Dear Stefan,

If you are not familiar with UNIX command line interface at all, you might 
follow Masamichi’s advice to simply upgrade to the latest development version.

The procedure to use install_ale_tool is:

1. Start the Terminal application either by double-clicking the Terminal icon 
in the Application folder, or from the Launchpad.

2. Type in the following command and then press <return> key to move into the 
Lilypond executable directory.

Juns-MacBook-Air:~ tamura$ cd /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin

(Note that "Juns-MacBook-Air:~ tamura$” is the command prompt on my Mac. It 
would be different on your Mac. You will type in “cd /Applications/…” and so 
on.)

3. Type in the following command and then press <return> key to modify the “gs” 
(ghost script) executable file.

Juns-MacBook-Air:bin tamura$ install_name_tool -change 
./bin/../sobin/libgs.8.70.dylib @executable_path/../lib/libgs.8.70.dylib gs

(Note that the above command line must be on one line. It might be broken into 
two lines when you receive this in your Mail program. If that is the case, 
please re-concatinate them into a single line by using Text Edit or any one of 
your favorite text editors and then paste it into your Terminal window. Also 
note that this procedure will actually modify the “gs” file. Any mistake in 
this command line could further screw up the situation.)

Hope this will help.

Best regards,

Jun
