did you install lilypond 2.8 as root or regular user? From your other
posts I suppose you have cleaned up your system a bit, but it seems to
be still a little "dirty". I advise you to remove all instances of
lilypond you can find, examples:

rm -rf /usr/local/share/lilypond/
rm -rf /usr/bin/lilypond*
rm -rf /usr/bin/convert-ly*
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/lilypond*
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/convert-ly*
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/lilypond/

then, close the shell you're using, open a new one and try to run
lilypond, convert-ly, and lilypond-book. all of them should return
something like:

-/bin/bash: lilypond: command not found

also, check to see if you have lilypond installed in your home dir.
check for ~/bin/lilypond* 

*then*, re-install lilypond 2.8 as root.

BTW, kurumin is not a strong system for a home user. it's ok to run from
a CD as a demo, but a nightmare to maintain. If you are looking for a
debian-based distribution, I recomend ubuntu. It has great hardware
support, it's easy to install, and works in portuguese as well.

Cheers,
