Thanks for reporting this, Joe. I just had a look at the lilypond-book code. It looks to me like the TeX processing program is launched with a copy of the current environment. As you probably know, the lilypond binary is launched via a wrapper script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH so yes, the environment for xelatex is modified and not the same as the one established by your shell. I suspect the designers considered it the user's resposibility to supply an alternative TeX processor that can cope with the lilypond runtime environment. For a workaround I did some research and found this posting on lilypond-user: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-03/msg00055.html in which Joseph Wakeling suggests a workaround of running xelatex on the TeX source produced by the failed run of lilypond book. Let us know if that works for you. Has xelatex ever worked for you? Have you updated xelatex or lilypond recently? Could you create a wrapper script for xelatex to establish the environment it needs? If you're unaware of it the env command works well for this, e.g.: env -i LANG="$LANG" TZ="$TZ" HOME="$HOME" GROUP="$GROUP" USER="$USER" SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash I'll create an enhancement request for this.
