Hi Kevin,

I would throw this question on the opensuse-support list., since it's 
more OS-related than lilypond specific,I would think.

I don't have the expertise to tell what goes wrong here, but it could be 
something with relative paths, which are different in case one starts 
from another point in the file system.

I'm on Opensuse Tumbleweed, and there the version of lilypond is kept 
reasonably actual.

regards, Jogchum
