If you're desperate, you can set all needed environment variables
inside emacs with `setenv', for instance:

(let ((version "2.2.6")
      (LilyPond-prefix "/usr/local/coop"))
  (setenv "GS_FONTPATH" (format 
"%s/share/lilypond/%s/pfa:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/ec-fonts-mftraced:"
 LilyPond-prefix version))
  (setenv "GS_LIB" (format "%s/share/lilypond/%s/ps:" LilyPond-prefix version))
  (setenv "PATH" (format "%s/bin:%s" LilyPond-prefix (getenv "PATH")))
  (setenv "TEXMF" (format 
"{%s/share/lilypond/%s,!!/usr/local/share/texmf,!!/usr/local/lib/texmf,!!/usr/share/texmf}"
                          LilyPond-prefix version))
  (setenv "datadir" (format "%s/share/lilypond/%s" LilyPond-prefix version))
  (setenv "tmppfadir" 
"/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/ec-fonts-mftraced/ecrm10.pfa"))
