Wolfgang,
The problem is that the native PC applications that lilypond uses, tex,
dvips, etc, want dos-like paths. Whereas lilypond and guile want UNC
style paths. I am working on a fix that will be out in a week or so.
The fix will affect the lily.bat generation and ly2dvi.py. In the
mean time you might want to experiment with the following:
---begin lily.bat---
@echo off
set LILYPONDHOME=e:\lilypond-1.1.23.jbr1
set GUILE_LOAD_PATH=//e/lilypond-1.1.23.jbr1/share/lilypond
set LILYPONDPREFIX=//e/lilypond-1.1.23.jbr1/share/lilypond
set LILYPONDPREFIX_DOS=%LILYPONDHOME%\share\lilypond
set path=%path%;%LILYPONDHOME%\bin
set TEXINPUTS=%LILYPONDPREFIX_DOS%\tex;%LILYPONDPREFIX_DOS%\ps;;
set MFINPUTS=%LILYPONDPREFIX_DOS%\mf;;
%comspec%
---end lily.bat---
ly2dvi.py _will_ most likely continue to fail, however lilypond should
run. You will then have to run tex, and dvips by hand.
I hope you find this helpful.

|
|Installations run without error messages, but when we tried to execute "ly2dvi

|E:\lilypond-1.1.23.jbr1>lilypond
|GNU LilyPond 1.1.23.jbr1

|Do you have an idea, what the problem could be?
