Re: Lilypond 2.2.0: cannot produce postscript

[Mats Bengtsson]

You don't, by chance, have the environment variable $LILYPONDPREFIX
set? Or the variable $TEXPSHEADERS?

To check why it doesn't work from within the lilypond script, run
lilypond with the additional flag --debug and check what it says
on the line starting with
TEXMF=

For the case when you call dvips directly from the command line,
I hope you have read what INSTALL.txt has to say about the files
lilypond-profile/lilypond-login.
