Thanks! Unfortunately it didn't work.
After uninstalling, I have changed to my home dir and issued

$lilypond_install/lilypond-2.18.2-1.linux-64.sh

I got the below

[...]
Untarring lilypond_install/lilypond-2.18.2-1.linux-64.sh
tar: ./usr/lib/libgs.so: Cannot create symlink to `libgs.so.8.70':
Permission denied
[...]

It's not clear to me where it's trying to symlink what... anyway I have
checked and I have write access to all dirs under ~/lilypond/usr
Any more clues please? Many thanks.
