Re: Ghostscript-lilypond error when converting ps>pdf

[Mats Bengtsson]

Since the error messages appear after the call to gs, I would still
suspect that ghostscript is the culprit, especially if you don't get any 
PDF file.

When you try running the GUB binary release, check the outputs of
lilypond --verbose ...
to see if it in any way uses any file that's also read by your home-compiled
version. You might also want to try to remove the cached font database.
