Top posting - apologies - the penalty of 2 windows users.
James - I'm almost certain Ghostscript is completely standalone. In the
days when Lily left the .ps files in the directory by default, I wrote a
program that I associated with .ps and which called Ghostscript - I found it
handy when I'd compiled a 10 minute score only to find it was still open in
Adobe! Ghostscript ran happily and compiled the PDF.
At present it's hardwired to a specific set of directories, but I could mod
it if it would help.

Subject: Question about Windows LP Code and Ghostscript
Hello,
Sorry if this is a basic question, but I have found an issue with Windows 7
and the latest SP1 that causes GS errors during LP compilation
A bug has been added to the tracker - actually it was closed as I was not
able to reproduce this on a clean system but have subsequently found someone
else who had the same errors and that led me to realise it was related to
SP1.
Anyway, I see that after I have installed LP on Windows I have in the path
C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\ghostscript
and that this version is 8.70.
Just for kicks can I download the latest version of GS and simply replace
the directories in the LP Path with these ones? or are there some
dependencies/libraries that we build into LP (if that makes sense) that
would cause this not to work?
It's a test machine, but I wondered if it was as simple as this to see if
later versions of GS have the same problem without having to compile/make
the whole binaries again (which I do not have the skill for).
