I have just installed Lilypond on Windows 10, following the instructions to
basically download, install, and add its path to the environment variable.

However, it won't compile; on a simple file; the log finishes with:

warning: `(gs -q -dNOSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=
841.89 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4
-dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPrinted=
false -sOutputFile=/Users/amca/Lilypond/Butler_divisions_D_major.pdf
-c.setpdfwrite -f./tmp-lilypond-c5ihri)' failed (1)

fatal error: failed files:
"C:\\Users\\amca\\Lilypond\\Butler_divisions_D_major.ly"


When I changed the name of the file it compiled once, and then wouldn't
compile again - it threw the same error message.

As I say, this is a new installation - just installed this afternoon, and
there were no previous versions of Lilypond on this system.  I've checked a
few times, and the only way I can get a new compilation is to rename the
file.

What's going on here and how can I fix it?

Thanks,
Alasdair
