Are you sure that you didn't see any error message from dvips the first time you ran lilypond with --verbose?
If you make a change to your .ly file, do the .ps and .pdf files change or are they still left from the first run?
Could you please try to run exactly the same command as LilyPond does internally:
dvips -t a4 -u+ec-mftrace.map -u+lilypond.map -Ppdf test.dvi
and see what it produces. If it doesn't produce a .ps file, could you please send a copy of the printouts to the mailing list.

Mats,
Thank you for your response. It helped me to get further using the --verbose command. I have something extremely odd now. The first time I run lilypond I get the following error. Error invoking `ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 test.ps'.
Indeed, no .ps file is created. Now I run manually dvips test.dvi as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] guido]$ dvips test.dvi This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2005.02.17:1315' -> test.ps <texc.pro><music-drawing-routines.ps><special.pro>. [1]
Now again I run lilypond test.ly and it works, I've got my test.pdf!!
Surely this must be some configuration but I've got no idea which
configuration file should be changed to let lilypond work in one go.
This is output from the verbose, maybe that helps: LILYPOND_DATADIR="/usr/share/lilypond" LOCAL_LILYPOND_DATADIR="/usr/share/lilypond/2.4.1" LOCALEDIR="/usr/share/locale" LILYPONDPREFIX=""

Guido
