I'm not sure, but I would guess that you have not installed a recent
enough ghostscript.  The one with FC-3 won't work.  You can get the
update here:

http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/Fedora-3/ghostscript-8.15rc3-0.i386.rpm 

Han-Wen packaged this for Fedora.  Check the News section at
lilypond.org about this package.  It will probably need to be installed
with -nodeps and it will probably break gimp-print but it will let you
use LilyPond.
