I installed lilypond this morning from the most recent FreeBSD port, and was
unable to get it to run from that install. Error message was: 

ERROR:
In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR:
Unable to find file lily.scm in load path

Running truss against lilypond showed that instead of trying to open 
/usr/local/share/lilypond/2.14.2/scm/lily.scm, 
it was trying to open /share/lilypond/2.14.2/scm/lily.scm. 

This is a bug that needs to be corrected. 

Creating the /share/lilypond directory and rsyncing to fill it from 
/usr/local/share/lilypond fixed the error and made it possible to run lilypond. 

I have a typescript of my "make install" output available, if you want it. 

I suspect that this bug is responsible for many, if not most, of the "Unable to
find file lily.scm in load path" errors I found in my Google searches. 

Please subscribe my other E-mail address, mi...@mikea.ath.cx, to the lilypond
mailing list. Questions about this may be directed either to udsd...@gmail.com
or to mi...@mikea.ath.cx. 

Thanks

Mike Andrews
