I removed Lilypond completely from my laptop, downloaded it again and 
reinstalled - I still get the same results.

A little more experimenting reveals a few more things - if I specify PNG 
for the output instead of the default PDF, there are no errors and the 
PNG image is fine.

If I specify Postscript for the output, the resulting PS file will not 
open in Preview (nor for that matter in GraphicConverter, which reports 
the file as corrupt). However, the PS file *will* open in KGhostView and 
KPDF (both running in XDarwin) and appear to be fine.

(On a side note, when I tried to produce SVG from LP, it produced a PS 
file instead!?)

I'm not sure what to do from here. I can at least use KGhostView to 
print or convert the PS file to PDF, but who likes clunky workarounds? 
Graham, you mentioned checking my command-line environment - did you 
have something specific in mind that I should check?
