Re: LilyPond 2.23.3 installer on MacOS 11

[Jefferson Felix]

Ernie,

Are you running lilypond inside frescobaldi or direct from terminal?

There is a known issue when running macports or homebrew lilypond via frescobaldi interface: https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/issues/1356

I used the command brew install lilypond to install GNU LilyPond 2.22.1 (running Guile 2.2) on MacOS 11.6.1 and I get the same error message:

Drawing systems...

Converting to `test.pdf'...

warning: g_spawn_sync failed (0): gs: Failed to execute child process “gs” (No such file or directory)

fatal error: cannot rename `test-tmp-9254638.285353.pdf' to `test.pdf'

Exited with return code 1.

The path to ghostscript is /usr/local/bin/gs and that is in my paths (using bash). I do not know how to work around this error.

I noticed that ghostscript is inside /opt/lilypond/bin in this package.

So, add /opt/lilypond/bin to your classpath. If using zsh:

echo 'export PATH="/opt/lilypond/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
