Not really your answer, but perhaps usefull: Yesterday i tried to compile lilypond from git source on linux mint and found the - ERROR: Unable to find file "lily.scm" in load path -, too. I could solve this by doing "sudo make install" in the directory, where lily.scm resides, but then i got other issues. Finally i deleted the own-build lilypond-version IIRC 2.17.13, did an uninstall of my old 2.17.09 and installed the version 2.17.12, downloaded from the website. After that all was fine.
