Daniel,
It finally managed to successfully compile lilypond. Thank you very much for
your help.
It had to do indeed with the installation of tetex as you pointed out. The
problem I believe I had, was the location of some map files. For more detail
you can refer to:
http://tug.org/texlive/mapenc.html
As soon as I managed to complete the upgrade of tetex to version 3.0, the
lilypond compilation problem was fixed. To be more precise, I believe the
problem could be fixed without having to upgrade tetex, but upgrading is not
necessarily a bad idea anyway.
Once again thanks for your help. Now I am ready to enjoy the new features of
Lilypond.
Cheers,
Luis

Thanks Daniel,
Unfortunately I am getting a clean output from that command.
mf --version

However I am thinking you are right, there must be something wrong in my
installation of tetex. Yesterday I got some errors about the map files
being in a deprecated directory structure whilst compiling tetex 3.0. I am
trying to fix that now.
Cheers,
Luis

Hi Luis --
I don't think ec-fonts is part of this problem. Looks like you are
crashing while Metafont is trying to generate a feta font -- that
shouldn't involve ec-fonts at all. What is happening is that not only is
Metafont failing, but it is not even generating a log. Do you get clean
results for the following:
mf --version
If your system can't find mf or if mf itself crashes, then it'll be
small wonder that mftrace is choking. That would also explain your
issues with ec-fonts.
