If dvips is in your PATH it should work.
You can test it using
"which dvips"; that should give you somethong like /usr/bin/dvips or similar.
If you type
PATH, you should get any defined PATH of your installation, including the
directory of dvips.
If you get an error while typing "dvips newtest.
Your output says "dvips: command not found".
Do you have a correct tex-installation???
(Sorry I don't know the name of the packages for RH9, I'm using SuSE8, maybe
you have also some help center and can search for the correct package
including dvips (at my installation it is simply called tetex).
I can use all files without any error, try --verbose as Jan said.
You can also try to run ly2dvi without to -P flag to see if the error occurs
while running dvips; maybe this program does not find the "lily extensions"
(normally /usr/share/lilypond/1.6.10/ps/lilyponddefs.ps and
/usr/share/lilypo

Try running with --verbose. That may give some more information.

Would be great if you could send your file. The error message looks like some
typing error, buit we can't see it if you don't send the file.
