Regarding James' point, in Linux you take care of this by using "sudo"
before the install command. I should have eplained this in my previous
email. The "sudo" prefix gives temporary root privileges and installs
the program in a location where all users on the system will have access
to it. When you run the uninstall script, you also have to preface the
command with sudo or else you get errors saying you don't have
permission to delete certain files and directories. Of course you can
also install as a regular user (i.e. without using "sudo"), in which
case it installs to your home directory, and the uninstall script will
be in a different location. As I said before, be sure to copy the
message from the terminal that says how to uninstall lilypond and save
the info. I've done dozens of uninstalls and re-installations of
lilypond and I still always have to copy that uninstall command from my
little cheat-sheet :)

What that means is that if you aren't logged in as the user root (which
you most likely aren't) then you kinda should put as one of the
configure options that lilypond should install somewhere that's specific
to you, e.g., ~/
