If you're running Red Hat Linux, the easiest way to install Lilypond
is to go to
ftp://pcnov095.win.tue.nl/pub/lilypond/RedHat/RPMS/i386
and download the i386.rpm. Then, as root, do
rpm -Uvh lilypond-....i386.rpm
That's it. Do rpm -qd lilypond to get a list of documentation files.

That's a development version, with the file names mangled by downloading
via Windows I expect. Probably best discarded.
