Try to add --verbose to the call to LilyPond, to get a more informative
error message. Clearly, Ghostscript fails, but
it's hard to tell why from the current printouts.

Quoting Trevor Bača <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm having trouble invoking the eps backend in the first place.
2.9.16 under OS X Intel with this helper script to call lily.
%%% HELPER SCRIPT %%%
#! /bin/sh
export LILYPOND_DESTDIR=`pwd`
export
GS_LIB="/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/ghostscript/8.50/lib"
date
python "/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lilycall.py"
"/Applications/LilyPond.app/" "--backend=eps" $1
echo 'debug'
%%% END HELPER SCRIPT %%%
Here's the test file.
%%% TEST FILE%%%
\version "2.9.16"
\new Staff {
c'4
}
%%% END TEST FILE %%%
And here's the result of running the helper script against the test file.
%%% OUTPUT %%%

I'm missing something obvious since nobody else is having trouble
invoking the eps backend in the first place ... any clues? (I haven't
yet worked in the -dno-gs-font-load option because I'm wanting to get
the eps stuff working first ...)
