The problem is probably your home directory, it contains a space: > warning: no lilypond output found for /home/Rob Mudde/foo ^ > Running LaTeX... > error: latex: command exited with value 256 Sadly, (La)TeX can't handle that. You can eiter remove the space from your home directory (eg, call it Rob-Mudde), or run ly2dvi from another directory that you create (/home/lily). > I have no idea what is wrong.
