Error when compiling

[Giulio Simão]

Hi. First of all, sorry if this is an inappropriate message. I was just 
unsure as to where or how I should look for a solution for this problem.

Today I tried using lilypond after a few months, during which time my 
computer updated its software several times. I'm still unsure as to 
whether this has anything to do with me messing with the lilypond 
extensions I had installed for VSCode.

Whenever I try to compile a file that's not completely comprised of 
zero-duration scores, the compiler returns the following error:

```
warning: `(gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH 
-dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPrinted=false /tmp/lilypond-tmp-7929292)' 
failed (256)

fatal error: failed files: "example.ly"

```

I'd very much appreciate if I could get some help in solving this problem.

Att.
