Hi,
For editing my sheets of music, I would like to use the great "lilypond" tool (http://www.lilypond.org/introduction.html).

As it is not available on Slitaz (I checked cooking and undigest), I tried (as usual) to convert the Debian package found here http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=lilypond, with tazpkg convert command.

Conversion runs fine, but when launching lilypond I get the following:
```
tux@slitaz:~$ lilypond test.ly
lilypond: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
tux@slitaz:~$
```
Unfortunately, only libgmp.so.10 is available on slitaz.

Does anyone know where I could find this missing libgmp.so.3?

Thanks

PS: I know that devel guys are really busy these days, but it would be nice having a lilypond package. ;-)

Install gmp and then just symlink libgmp.so.3 to libgmp.so

I really should write a converter's guide one of these days... The general rule: If the requirement isn't in the repositories, convert it. If it is in the repositories, but named wrong, symlink it.

Thanks Trixar,
I understand your advice, but gmp is already installed.

In fact, I do not have the libgmp.so.3 on my system, only libgmp.so.10 is present:

tux@slitaz:~$ ls /usr/lib/libgmp*
/usr/lib/libgmp.a /usr/lib/libgmp.so.10
/usr/lib/libgmp.la /usr/lib/libgmp.so.10.0.1
/usr/lib/libgmp.so
tux@slitaz:~$

This is why I asked about where to find the libgmp.so.3 file.

Thanks for helping.

a symlink is like a shortcut link to a file. You can also use it as a cheap way to bypass weird naming conventions like the one you're experiencing.

Try the following:
1. su to root
2. cd /usr/lib
3. ln -s libgmp.so libgmp.so.3
4. Try running lilypond again

Thx, your bypass did the trick. ;-)

The next one is:

root@slitaz:/usr/lib# ln -s libgmp.so libgmp.so.3
root@slitaz:/usr/lib# exit
tux@slitaz:~$ lilypond test.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.12.3

tux@slitaz:~$
