Am I silly? The argument to the sh command has to be in the current directory. Move to the one where you downoladed the file and repeat the command. -- Francisco Vila.

It all makes perfect sense and maybe I haven't had problems yet just because I've been lucky. I changed "latex" to "pdflatex" in my script and the result looks exactly the same but if pdflatex is more appropriate then I'm happy to use it. The problem I had was clearly related to my build of lilypond yesterday, so that's the only thing I need to figure out now. I've built LP from source many times and had no problems with processing lilypond-book files before, so I don't know what happened. If someone else happened to build LP yesterday and has the same problem then it might be a bug, otherwise I'll assume my build had a failure somewhere. It processed regular lilypond files perfectly, but the dvi files created from lilypond-book and then latex (or as you say, pdfTeXk running in regular latex mode) failed to convert to pdf. Thanks again for the detailed explanation and renewed apologies for my grumpiness. :) Jon -- Jonathan Kulp http://www.jonathankulp.com ___ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond

The thing is that latex and pdflatex handle included graphics completely
different, by default.
The code generated by lilypond-book includes constructs of the form
\includegraphics{somefilename}
If you process the file using latex, then this construct will include
the EPS file somefilename.eps
whereas if you process it using pdflatex, it will include the PDF file
somefilename.pdf.
This in turn means completely different things, when it comes to font
handling in the included
files, for example.
Note also that dvipdf is a shell script that internally first calls
dvips and
then ghostscript to convert the resulting postscript file to PDF.

Jonathan Kulp wrote: Quick follow-up to this. The installation of 2.11.65 that failed was one that I built from source pulled from git today. Just to try one more variable, I installed the pre-compiled binary of 2.11.65 and (of course) it ran the files successfully. I suppose something didn't go right when I compiled today. Funny because the installation I compiled worked fine on regular lilypond files but it didn't work with lilypond-book. So now I don't really know whether there's a problem or not. :( If anyone feels like investigating this I'd be very curious to see how it goes. Best, Jon Thanks for all of the feedback, guys. Sorry for being prickly, Mats, but I get that way when someone suggests I haven't read the manual. I have working commands that happen to be slightly different than what's in the manual. Just a reminder of my follow-up from last night (see above), which explained that the problem was likely in my build of lilypond from the latest git, since everything worked normally when I installed the 2.11.65 pre-compiled binary. For reference, when I run the command "latex" the program that responds is "pdfTeXk". The instruction to run dvipdf on the dvi file come from the LaTeX manual, not the Lilypond manual, and this has always worked for me so I don't bother with dvips.

Sorry dude, I'm with Mats here. Does pdflatex work? Alternately, does lilypond-book +dvips work if you omit the --pdf ? If the answer to those two question is 'yes', then I say we don't have any problem here whatsoever; if it wasn't supposed to work, then I don't care if it doesn't. Don't forget that you added a bunch of texlive packages; maybe that fixed something that was broken on your computer?
