This is the font environment setting question again.

May be caused by a shell-environment which is not properly
initialized. You must read all the shell-login scripts (and
understand and debug them :-(!))

or 

   keep running as root

or, better, use

   buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile

which should be manually added or sourced from your /etc/profile
or /etc/bashprofile (what name is used by bash?) Some setups use

   . /etc/lilypond/lilypond-profile

but names are distribution specific, so it could be

   . /etc/profiles.d/lilypond


(I avoid these problems by having a /.lilypond script at hand at
every time which I source manually :)


SOURCE: source a script means to run the script by using the
dot-command (or "source"-command in bash)
