What am I doing wrong? I've managed to download LilyPond 2.0.1 through Fink
(3 nights - 56K modem...) I also downloaded the PDF-manual, and tried to
follow the instructions in section 2.2 "Running LilyPond", to view the
output. I made a text-file in BBEdit, saved it and ran ¹lilypond test.ly¹ in
a new Terminal-window. This is the result:

Welcome to Darwin!
Nils-Lundstr-ms-dator:~ nilslundstrom$ lilypond test.ly
lilypond (GNU LilyPond) 2.0.1
Running sw...
warning: can't find file: `test'

lilypond: warning: no LilyPond output found for `test'
Running latex...
Running dvips...lilypond: error: `dvips' failed (status 1)
lilypond: error: The error log is as follows:
/tmp/tmpNkLpU3dvips.errorloglilypond: warning: Failed to make PS file. Rerun
with --verbose for a trace.

How do I make LilyPond find the file? I'm on MacOSX 10.3.2.
