Help with 1.4.5 (sound of broken record)

[William R. Brohinsky]

Tonight I spent a lot of time grooming my home desktop (now that it's on
a desktop) for installation of 1.4.5.

I can't get ly2dvi to run. When I try it, I get the following:

address@hidden ~$ ly2dvi example-1.ly

Running LilyPond...
error: sh: command exited with value -1
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:\cygwin\usr\lilypond-1.4.5\bin\ly2dvi.py", line 782, in ?
    run_lilypond (files, outbase, dep_prefix)
  File "C:\cygwin\usr\lilypond-1.4.5\bin\ly2dvi.py", line 390, in
run_lilypond
    system ('lilypond %s %s ' % (opts, fs))
  File "C:\cygwin\usr\lilypond-1.4.5\bin\ly2dvi.py", line 314, in system
    error (msg)
  File "C:\cygwin\usr\lilypond-1.4.5\bin\ly2dvi.py", line 207, in error
    raise _ ("Exiting ... ")
Exiting ...
address@hidden ~$

Oddly, if I use 

lilypond example-1.ly
tex example-1.tex
gsview32 example-1.ps   [now that I've fixed the options for gsview]
I get the scale with the clef and time signature and barlines and
noteheads and stems...in short, it works fine.

But ly2dvi crashes with the same error no matter what file I run it on.

I've been through the troubleshooting chart on
http://lilypond.org/wiki/?TroubleshootingWindows, and I can't see an
obvious cause.

As for the GSview32 problems, it comes up saying it can't find gsview,
and tells me I have to download from the site. I cancel that, and use
'advanced configure' from the options menu, and find that it is looking
for the gs32dll.dll file in .../Ghostgum/gs0.0/... which should be
something like /gs/gs6.50/... for this version. Then it can't find
gs_init.ps and generally kvetches until I give it
C:\cygwin\usr\windows\gs\gs6.50\lib;C:\cygwin\usr\windows\gs\gs6.50\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\windows\Ghostgum\gs6.50\fonts;c:\psfonts
for an include path.

Additionally, guile still has problems installing on any disk other than
C: (and in my system, d: is the boot disk!)

Any suggestions how I can untangle this?
