Simple problem gettingh started

[R G Whedon]

I think the problem is that the default directory for the foo.ly file is under a directory which has my name as one of the parts of the path, unfortunately separated by a space.

 

I don't seem to be able to either change this "default" or to point Lilypond to another directgor which does not have the space.

 

Any ideas what I shouild do?

 

Here is a copy of the screen with the error message appearing as the 4th line from the bottom:
