Can't compile documents

[Caol Andor]

Hi, I've installed LilyPond 1.6.3 on RedHat 7.3 successfully from the source,
but couldn't  "make web" and got error messages like :


--------------------
 invoking `gs -sDEVICE=bbox -q  -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE lily-15089817    
61.eps -c quit > lily-1508981761.eps.bbox 2>&1'
Error command exited with value 35072
Exiting ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1478, in ?
  File "../../scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1377, in do_file

  File "../../scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1090, in make_pixmap
  File "../../scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1079, in get_bbox
  File "../../scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1066, in system

Exiting.
--------------------

gs invoked by "system()" in  lilypond-book.py line 1066  always
devours terribly much CPU time and makes my harddisk very busy only to fail,
though I can invoke gs from terminal with the same command in the same 
directory and create bbox files successfully.
So gs should be all right and  lilypond-book.py might be wrong ,
but the script looks all right (at least) to me .
Could anyone help me?
