BTW, there is now a MusiXTeX package for Debian. :) Check out
musixtex_t.75-2.deb in the unstable distribution! :) (It is still
sitting in master.debian.org incoming though, but you might be able to
find musixtex_t.75-1.deb or musixtex_t.74-1.deb in:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/non-free/binary-i386/tex/
So, make sure you give that a try! (Shameless plug here... I was
the one who packaged it... <grin>)

I get the same error here (I think), but that should be pretty harmless.
The Checksum mismatch error message happens with the mflogo font, which is
simply the font used to display the "METAFONT" logo.
BTW, I recommend that you modify the configuration of dvips. Personally,
I find it much easier to use dvips to convert musixdoc.dvi to musixdoc.ps
and then use GV to preview the file before printing it. Also, GV lets you
print selected pages (print all odd pages, print all even pages, etc.) so
you don't have to play with the options with dvips. :)

Hmm... can you see *anything* on your page? Do you mean all you see is a
blank page? Can you see the text? Can you see the music notes?
I am using Debian's teTeX and MusiXTeX packages here, and everything
works well here. :)
