"no LilyPond output found for..."

[skeswani]

Hello, 

I am trying to use LilyPond 1.6.4 with Win 2000 Pro (Service Pack 3) 
running on a P4.  

I am not able to get the test (mentioned at 
http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/windows/out-www/installing.html) 
to work. I type in "ly2dvi -p foo" and basically get "no LilyPond output 
found for 'foo'". Below is the entire text that is returned.  

---------------------------
Running LilyPond...
GNU LilyPond 1.6.4 
Now processing: 'foo.ly' 
Parsing... 
warning: no LilyPond output found for 'foo' 
Running LaTex... 
Running dvtips...
error: dvips: command exited with value 256 
Traceback(most recent call last): 
 File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 1055, in ? 
  run_dvips (outbase, extra_init)
 File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 786, in run_dvips  
  quiet_system (cmd, 'dvips') 
 File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 471, in quiet system 
  return system (cmd, ignore_error, quiet = 1) 
 File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 255, in system 
  error (msg) 
 File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 151, in error 
  sys.exit (2) 
SystemExit: 2
--------------------------- 

I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this, 
particularly since I am not well aquainted with Cygwin. Thanks in 
advance. :)
