I'm using Red Hat 7.1.  I have not set up any environment variables
relating to fonts, nor anything else that seems to be related to Lilypond,
but everything works fine.  I installed from source.

The one unusual thing I remember doing was folloiwing the FAQ,
http://lilypond.org/wiki/?LilyPondFaqs, where it says:

    In Redhat or Mandrake, with lilypond built from source, the procedure
    is:

        cd /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public

        ln -s /usr/local/share/lilypond/mf lilypond

and I probably ran the 'mktexlsr' after that, as instructed.  You made no
mention of making any links, so I wonder if that's a question you missed
in the FAQ.
