It doesn't redefine "__vector", it wants to create an alias for "vector" 
by temporarily setting

#define vector __vector

which only works as intended when "__vector" is not yet defined as 
something else. Not testing for this case looks like a bug in lilypond 
to me.

Ebrahim's original post is in the list archive and has the complete 
command line with the 5 or 6 other errors that follow the one I quoted.
