lilypond does not generate pdf - new install on mac os sonoma

[Abe Raher]

hey folks – with my newly installed lilypond on mac os sonoma, lilypond
generates midi but no pdfs

i've tested a number of .ly files that successfully generated scores
previously – none generate pdfs now

and i just tested the simplest template in lilypond's docs ... please have
a look at the log output and give me a clue!

thanks very much

***

Mac OS: 14.1.1 (23B81)

Re: lilypond does not generate pdf - new install on mac os sonoma

[Leonardo van der Laat]

I'm having the same problem.
There's already a thread about this:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2023-06/msg00135.html
Joshua Armenta posted a solution, something to do with Ghostscript, but I
couldn't make it to work.

Re: lilypond does not generate pdf - new install on mac os sonoma

[Ben Bradshaw]

Essentially you need to downgrade ghostscript a version. Although with the
new release announced today I don't know if it will be fixed or not.

Re: lilypond does not generate pdf - new install on mac os sonoma

[Abe Raher]

Thank you Ben and Leonardo!

I tried Joshua Armenta's proposed fix. I don't think it actually changed
anything. I still got the same ghostscript error after I tried the
procedure.

 % cd /usr/local/share/doc

myusername@myhostname % ls -al | grep ghost

lrwxr-xr-x   1 myusername  admin54 Nov 11 15:37 ghostscript ->
../../Cellar/ghostscript/10.02.1/share/doc/ghostscript

myusername@myhostname % sudo chown -R `whoami` ghostscript

Password:

myusername@myhostname % brew link --overwrite ghostscript

Warning: Already linked: /usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/10.02.1

To relink, run:

  brew unlink ghostscript && brew link ghostscript

Ben, you can see from the above that I am on the latest version, 10.02.1.
What version do you think I should downgrade to? And can that be done with
brew?

That thread is not about the same problem as this thread.

Your specific Ghostscript error is

```
Error: /undefined in finddevice
```

The problem is that recently, Ghostscript (the software used by LilyPond to 
convert its PostScript output to PDF) had a “security fix release”, version 
10.02.1, which removed a function that was used by LilyPond (apparently because 
it was somehow found to be insecure). See [issue 
6675](https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6675).

Since security fix releases are always assumed not to break anything, packagers 
pick them up without much thought. In this case, Homebrew was quick to upgrade 
to 10.02.1 and LilyPond broke.

LilyPond has already been changed to avoid using it, but Homebrew doesn't have 
that fix yet.

I don't know enough about Homebrew to say whether it's possible to downgrade 
Ghostscript to 10.02.0. You could try the [official 
binaries](https://lilypond.org/download.html), which do work.

Best,

Jean

Re: lilypond does not generate pdf - new install on mac os sonoma

[Abe Raher]

p.s. This story ended oddly.

I uninstalled ghostscript and then installed ghostscript 10.02.0.

I pinned that version.

Still got the error ...

Uninstalled lilypond.

Reinstalled lilypond – this required unpinning ghostscript.

Now it's all working. Odd because we're back to the latest ghostscript
which is what we thought was the source of the error.

Hello,

Yes, but after uninstalling LilyPond 2.24.2 you reinstalled the brand-new
2.24.3, which contains a fix for the Ghostscript problem.
Thanks to the speedy LilyPond developers.

Kind regards,
Xavier
