I recall being instructed to try the packaged Lily, as it came with a
built-in gs binary. Doing that, I no longer had this error. Peter: when you
get that error message, can you try going into the containing directory in
a console, and running the *exact command that fails* (the one in the
parentheses after "warning:") and see if it works? Or if you get different
output?

Cheers,

A
