I know this has been asked several times as I have gone through the archives. But it has mostly been associated with the 1.6.something version.

I am runnnig 2.4.5 on Slackware. It was installed from a slackpack that I got off of linuxpackages.org.

Lilypond seems to be running fine. After the .dvi file is made and it is trying to convert to .ps is where I have the problem. I get this output at the end of compiling my song.

Error invoking `dvips -t "letter" -u+ec-mftrace.map -u+lilypond.map -Ppdf peregrino > /dev/null 2>&1 '. Return value 256
Converting to `peregrino.pdf'...Error invoking `ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE="letter" peregrino.ps > /dev/null 2>&1 '. Return value 256


I thought it had to do with my fonts, since I installed the ec-fonts-mftraced after installing lilypond. I then did a reinstall of lilypond and have the same problem. The fonts came from Linuxpackages too.

Here is the pertinant output when running --verbose.

I know where music-drawing-routines.ps is. Now I just need to be able to tell dvips where to find it.

Thanks for your help.
