no Postscript file created from test.ly

[Richard Benedict]

Greetings!

Before I tell you my problem, I want to thank you for creating what
appears to be a wonderful application.  The examples of LilyPond that
I've seen are very clean and elegant, and I wish you all the best in
continuing to develop and propagate it. :)
Hopefully, my problem will be of some help to the development process.
;)  If it doesn't, I am nonetheless grateful for your support.  Here's
what happened when I ran ly2dvi after creating test.ly:

$ ly2dvi -P test.ly
Running LilyPond...
GNU LilyPond 1.6.6

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return system (cmd, ignore_error, quiet = 1)
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 255, in system
    error (msg)
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 151, in error
    sys.exit (2)
SystemExit: 2
DVI output to `test.dvi'...


When I view test.dvi with kdvi, it looks pretty clean, only the stems
are a bit detached from the noteheads and there's no ledger line for the
c note.
Any leads as to why a PostScript file wasn't generated?  I installed an
RPM version of LilyPond from an apt repository using Synaptic.

Cheers,
