I have LilyPond 2.19.19 working on Fedora 21 running without problems, and 
on Fedora 22 I can't compile any *.ly file at all. So it seems you are 
having a different problem.


I think we must be careful to keep different (LilyPond) issues that people 
are reporting here separate, if we are not really sure that they are in 
any way related. Or if weknow they are different issues.

I am summing up some of the issues I have seen in the list that we really 
should kee seperated for now:

- Fedora 21 vs Fedora 22
- Ghostscript 9.15 vs 9.16 in combination with LilyPond 2.19.19
- problems with new fontconfig
- Ghostscript using "lines.ps" from the Ghostscript search path instead of 
the filename specified when calling gs.
- LilyPond brutally overwrites an already existing xxxx.ps file when an 
xxxx.ly inputfile is used to create a xxxx.pdf file, (instead of 
properly creating a decent temporary filename)
- and now the issue from Andrew Bernard

These are really different subjects, that sometimes might, or might not, 
be related.

Let's keep the bugreports and discussion clean and clear. I started the 
discussion, and I feel the need to say this.
