I think we have solved the problem! Did you compile LilyPond yourself or did you install from an RPM? If you compiled it yourself, the problem is that you have copied the file buildscripts/lilypond-profile.sh instead of the correct one: buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile to /etc/profile.d/lilypond.s
