The idea of setting TEXINPUTS is that you don't have to do any
changes at all to the system wide lilypond-profile file. Instead,
you just set TEXINPUTS in your own ~/.profile.
(For the record, the files are created during make and are probably
installed in /etc/profile.d/ on your machine).

You probably need a package named something like guile-devel that
contains the include files and lib files to be used at compile time.

The lilypond script is only intended to give a decent layout for
normal cases. If you want more freedom to adjust titling and page
layout, I recommend to use lilypond-book instead.
