On my mac I had to do:

GS_LIB=/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/ghostscript/9.21/Resource/Init
 
export GS_LIB

or gs would not execute due not being able to find gs_init.ps.  I tried to use 
“-x” with the above path but gs didn’t recognize the “-x”. Also, 
“path-to-fonts” on my system was:

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/fonts/otf

I have run your command on changes.pdf, and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks to all for their comments.  I wonder if there might be some new users 
(or old) that tried v2.19.82 and ran into this problem and got frustrated.  
Maybe it would be helpful to delete the English versions of the v2.19.82 
manuals from the lilypond.org site, possibly with a note to use the v2.19.81 
versions, at least until a new version of lilypond without this problem comes 
out.
