I used the command brew install lilypond to install GNU LilyPond 2.22.1 (running Guile 2.2) on MacOS 11.6.1 and I get the same error message:
Drawing systems... Converting to `test.pdf'... warning: g_spawn_sync failed (0): gs: Failed to execute child process “gs” (No such file or directory) fatal error: cannot rename `test-tmp-9254638.285353.pdf' to `test.pdf' Exited with return code 1. The path to ghostscript is /usr/local/bin/gs and that is in my paths (using bash). I do not know how to work around this error.
