RE: No PS file created

[Guido Spaanbroek]

Mats,

When running the command as you said I get a segmental error:

address@hidden guido]$ dvips -t a4 -u+ec-mftrace.map -u+lilypond.map -Ppdf
test.dvi
Segmentatie fout

('fout' is dutch for error)

I have no idea what this means. The file mftrace.map has the timestamp of
the last dvips run, so that is created over and over I guess. The file
lilypond.map is where it is expected:
/usr/share/lilypond/2.4.1/dvips/lilypond.map

Would something be wrong with lilypond.map?

Regards,

Guido

Are you sure that you didn't see any error message from dvips the first
time you ran lilypond with --verbose?

If you make a change to your .ly file, do the .ps and .pdf files change
or are they still left from the first run?

Could you please try to run exactly the same command as LilyPond does
internally:

dvips -t a4 -u+ec-mftrace.map -u+lilypond.map -Ppdf test.dvi

and see what it produces. If it doesn't produce a .ps file, could you
please send a copy of the printouts to the mailing list.
