Lilypond 2.14.2 on PuppyLinux

[BARÉ Willy SPRL]

Hi,
This post for information only.

Good news: later Lilypond 2.14.2 gets nice installed on later «flavours» 
of Puppylinux,

i.e. tested on
wary5.3 ; racy5.3;
dpup-Exprimo (kernels 3.X series - also available: extra language packs 
for de , fr , es, pl, ru locales - have tested the french one)

but not on Slacko5.3.1 (built around kernel 2.6.37.6 for slackware 
archive compatibility;  for this, install the .txz slackware archive of 
Lilypond instead);
nor on PuppyLinux earlier serie 4.X; nor on Lupu528 ( built around the 
kernel2.6.33.2; even the Ubuntu Lilypond archive does not install);

A few users have reportedthey like using Lilypond on PuppyLinux because 
of the fast compile of .ly codes.
They also reported (around september 2011) installation difficulties of 
Lilypond from version 2.13.42:

then the sh installation returned the following error message :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
sh lilypond-2.13.42-linux-x86.sh
...
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file
tar: Child died with signal 13
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors.
...
