Package: lilypond
Version: 2.12.3-5
Severity: normal
By default, lilypond attempts to produce pdf output (as per the man page):
--pdf generate PDF (default)
In a clean installation (sid chroot), this default fails to work:
$ lilypond test.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.12.3
Processing `test.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music... [8][16]
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Finding the ideal number of pages...
Fitting music on 2 or 3 pages...
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `test.ps'...
Converting to `./test.pdf'...
`gs -q -dSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -r1200 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile="./test.pdf" -c .setpdfwrite -f "test.ps"' failed (32512)
error: failed files: "test.ly"
because ghostscript is not installed.
Most users would presumably have ghostscript installed as it will have been
dragged in by something else... but lilypond should probably at least Recommend
ghostscript so that it just works out of the box. (If it weren't the default
behaviour of lilypond to use ghostscript, then I would have filed a wishlist
bug for this).
cheers
