I added this to the manual 

        For processing both the @TeX{} and the PostScript output, you must
        have appropriate environment variables set.  For @TeX{}, you have to
        set @var{MFINPUTS} and @var{TEXINPUTS} to point to the directory
        containing LilyPond metafont and .tex files.  For processing the
        PostScript with Ghostscript, you have to set @var{GS_FONTPATH} to
        point to the directory containing LilyPond @file{pfa} files.

        Scripts to do this are included in
        @file{buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile} (for sh shells) and
        @file{buildscripts/out/lilypond-login} (for C-shells), and should
        normally be run as part of your login process.
