Re: $(datadir)/.../dvips vs. .../ps

[Mats Bengtsson]

An alternative to the symlink is to set the environment variable
TEXPSHEADERS to "/usr/local/share/lilypond/1.6.6/tex/:" (or wherever
you have installed Lilypond). Note the semicolon at the end.
Of course, we have to find a better placement of the file in
future releases.
