That's all fine. The problem is probably your home directory, it
contains a space:

Sadly, (La)TeX can't handle that. You can eiter remove the space from
your home directory (eg, call it Rob-Mudde), or run ly2dvi
from another directory that you create (/home/lily).

I'm sure you can handle this? If you have further problems, have a
look at

Oh, and please, don't send HTML (mail to this list).
