Yes, I noticed that after posting it.

This could be because I installed some fonts as normal user using
kcontrol (yes, shame on me). I suspect it added this path to GS_LIB at
this point, and then, as I had typed
rm -rf ~/.*
in a terminal, it removed the ~/.fonts directory.

However, having reinstalled my fonts (and therefore recreated the
~/.fonts directory), I find myself in a new situation: lilypond does
not print any error message anymore, but the pdf I get is not readable
by any reader (evince, kpdf, gv).

Hmm... I don't really know how to check that. I just checked that
$GS_LIB is indeed my ~/.fonts directory, and I tried to have a look in
/etc/profile.d/ to check if there wasn't anything odd. Otherwise, this
is a brand new Mandriva setup so there should'nt be anything wrong...
