I think you have an error in the path and/or commands in the lilypondtool 
options.  In jEdit, go to Plugins; Plugin Options and select LilyPondTool in 
the tree view (left-hand part of the window).

The main settings and my actual entries are:

General:
Path to LilyPond binary: /usr/local/bin
External PDF viewer: evince
Use the complex parser: yes
Enable experimental features: yes

Commands:
Lilypond command: lilypond
Default Lilypond arguments: [blank]
convert-ly command: convert-ly
Python executable: python
GhostScript command: gs

If you are not sure where lilypond is actually installed, open a terminal and 
do:
$ whereis lilypond

The main choices will be /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or ~/bin and you need to 
change the 'Path to Lilypond binary' setting accordingly (in the General 
settings, above).

Restart jEdit and try the test file again.


Nick.
