That's a very old version, see the first FAQ on

Check that 'lilypond menuet.ly' produces an output file menuet.ly,
otherwise it should at least give an error message of some kind.
(ly2dvi is just a script that first calls lilypond and then
includes the result in a latex wrapper to typeset titles and
get a nice page layout)
