I assume they're created with the GS bundled with LilyPond.  When I open
up a command prompt window, there is no gs available.

When the pdf file is created, there is an error log created as well.
The error log is as follows:

# -*-compilation-*-

diagram.ly'

"fret-diagram.ps"' failed (1)
However, a pdf file was created, which was not correctly rendered.

I then opened up a graphical GS window (from my Windows installation)
and got the error information I was reporting earlier.

BTW, I'm now running again on Fedora Core 3.  I get a very similar error
when I run lilypond on this system with input/test/fret-diagram.ly.

I'm now going to try to identify which features of fret-diagram.ly are
causing trouble.
