No, I ran "find ~/ -name lilypond" and nothing was found. I also 
uninstalled lilypond from /usr/local/lilypond, and then installed LP not 
as root, so that it installed instead to /home/nick/lilypond and put its 
scripts and links in /home/nick/bin. When I run LP after installing 
there, I get the same error, and if I run inside strace, I see very 
similar lines in the log file - just slightly different paths:

stat("/home/nick/lilypond/scm/lily.scm", 0x7fff45b27450) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
stat("/home/nick/lilypond/lily.scm", 0x7fff45b27450) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
stat("/home/nick/lilypond/usr/bin/../share/guile/1.8/lily.scm", 
0x7fff45b27450) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

So for the moment I'm back to installing to /usr/local/lilypond and 
copying the contents of /usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current 
to ~/lilypond.
