Thanks, you were right. I actually had two problems. I had some old version of latex in my path before the it found the web2c 7.5.5 installation. How the path changed in a week will remain a mystery. I forgot the equals in --output= Once I fixed those, everything worked fine.
On Mac OS X, the latex route works fine. $ dvips -Ppdf -h psalm71.psfonts psalm71.dvi $ ps2pdf psalm71.ps or if I click on psalm71.dvi in Finder, then TeXShop opens it and converts it.

For example, you should be able to run the command latex sample2e dvips sample2e to get a Postscript file sample2e.ps with a 3 page document. I don't understand why you have teTeX installed separately but not included in your PATH. Since it seems that your teTeX installation works fine, you could just add it to the PATH so that it's found when you run lilypond-book as well. Also, I would recommend to use lilypond-book --pdf ... pdflatex ... instead of the latex + dvips + ps2pdf route. Actually, because of some bugs, the pdflatex version is the only one that works on Windows. /Mats Fred Leason wrote: I had the lilypond-book working great.

I have no .efmt files anywhere on the system. I may have upgraded some graphics packages since this last worked. I tried to load everything to compile lilypond, but I could not get readline or guile to load.

I am submitting this as a bug since it worked fine before. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
