Re: lilypond-book on Mac OS X stopped working.

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please make sure that your LaTeX installation works correctly.
For example, you should be able to run the command
latex sample2e
dvips sample2e
to get a Postscript file sample2e.ps with a 3 page document.

I don't understand why you have teTeX installed separately but not
included in your PATH. Since it seems that your teTeX installation
works fine, you could just add it to the PATH so that it's found when
you run lilypond-book as well.

Also, I would recommend to use
lilypond-book --pdf ...
pdflatex ...
instead of the latex + dvips + ps2pdf route. Actually, because of some 
bugs,
the pdflatex version is the only one that works on Windows.
