Hello,Have you tried upgrading to ghostscript 8.x? Newer versions of Lilypond are known to have certain problems with the 7.x series. Unfortunately ESP ghostscript is stuck at 7.07, but GPL/Aladdin is up to 8.5 (with 8.15 being latest stable).
I just installed lilypond 2.5.11 on my amd64 and it works fine. Thanks! There is one thing that does not work:
Whenever I call lilypond -f pdf (or use the default as that creates pdf as well) lilypond hangs indefinitly: if I kill it with ctrl-c I get:
Konvertierung nach �CatStevens-FatherAndSon.pdf�...Error invoking `ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE="a4" CatStevens-FatherAndSon.ps > /dev/null 2>&1 '. Return value 2
I use ghostscript-7.07.1 <the one from aladdin>, and ps2pdf will also hang if I call it like this on the command line.
ps2pdf CatStevens-FatherAndSon.ps CatStevens-FatherAndSon.pdf
returns. It hangs as well, so my proposed solution would not work anyway. I switched to afpl-ghostscript and that it works fine now.
Still, what do we do if it hangs? Lilypond is supposed to be "robust". Can we protect outselves from hanging when a subcommand does?
