Odd.  I just tested it on my OSX system, and I got the following:

----
spark:~/tmp gperciva$ lilypond foo.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.4.5
Processing `foo.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music... [1]
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Calculating line breaks... [2]
Layout output to `foo.tex'...
Converting to `foo.dvi'...
Converting to `foo.ps'...
Converting to `foo.pdf'...
spark:~/tmp gperciva$

Could you try running it again with -V ?
lilypond -V test.ly


Oh, and did you make sure to quite your current terminal window and
open it again?  You need to do that after installing lilypond.
