(OpenSUSE Leap 15.3 to be precise)

So I've downloaded 2.23.7 and untarred into ~/Software/lilypond-2.23.7, created 
a symbolic link from ~/Software/lilypond-2.23.7/bin/lilypond to ~/bin/lilypond, 
and get the following...

> ~/bin/lilypond --version 
GNU LilyPond 2.23.7 (running Guile 2.2)

> ~/bin/lilypond x.ly 
GNU LilyPond 2.23.7 (running Guile 2.2) 
Uncaught exception: 
Throw to key misc-error with args ("primitive-load-path" "Unable to find file 
~S in load path" ("ice-9/boot-9") #f)Cannot exit gracefully when init is in 
progress; aborting. 
Aborted (core dumped)

(with the same result whether the file exists or not).

However...

> ~/Software/lilypond-2.23.7/bin/lilypond x.ly 
GNU LilyPond 2.23.7 (running Guile 2.2) 
warning: cannot find file: `x.ly' 
fatal error: failed files: "x.ly"

So it works if run directly from the installation directory, but not via a 
symbolic link.

Any ideas?

Kevin.
