Is this the first time you install Lilypond or did you have an old
installation on system before? If this is the case, try to remove all
traces of the old version (in particular check the files mentioned 
int the error message). Which Lilypond version do you use? Did you 
compile it yourself or install an RPM? 
I notice that your TeX installation generates fonts for 300dpi 
printers, is it a deliberate choice of yours? I don't think it 
could cause any problems even though.
