'/usr/local/Cellar/lilypond/2.24.4/' hints that your Lilypond is not the 'offical' lilypond release (which is published as a tar.gz on gitlab.com), but the Homebrew version.
Best to check in the Homebrew community, but the error messages appear to suggest that your Homebrew install is missing ghostscript. Alternative would be to download the official binary and ensure that your Frescobaldi calls that version. https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/graphical-setup-under-macos > Op 9 sep 2025 om 16:35 heeft Carl Witthoft <[email protected]> het volgende > geschreven: > > I installed Lilypond 2.22.4 on iMac M4, > I run Frescobaldi and Lilypond comes up OK, but when I try to render a file, > I get this: > > Converting to > `IMSLP851366-PMLP1339324-3110_Solo_for_Tenor_Saxophone_in_D_minor.pdf'... > warning: g_spawn_sync failed (-1): gs: Failed to execute child process “gs” > (No such file or directory) > warning: `(gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH > -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPrinted=false > /var/folders/06/c3sf7kh53rn16lbqgb656zmh0000gp/T//lilypond-tmp-4770280)' > failed (-1) > > /usr/local/Cellar/lilypond/2.24.4/share/lilypond/2.24.4/ly/init.ly:65:2: > error: Guile signaled an error for the expression beginning here > # > (let ((book-handler (if (defined?
