A couple of things to try:

1.  From a command prompt (assuming you're on Linux or *nix and not 
Windows), try 

type dvi2ps

and make sure it's installed and visible to the system.  (On my Windows 
box, for instance, I have dvips rather than dvi2ps, so the latter would 
fail.)

2.  Assuming dvi2ps exists and is on the command path, try

dvips $$i

(drop the -o $$o).  The -o switch routes output to a file.
