Have a look at

    http://lilypond.org/web/install/

I hope that your platform is listed there.  GUB is mentioned
at the bottom of the page.

Since 2.8, we distribute binaries of all releases for all*) platforms.
These binaries are fat, they include all libraries that lilypond
depends on.  Your system is not upgraded however, other programs are
not affected.

We do this because building lilypond can be frustrating and supporting
lilypond's build problems can take a lot of time.  Han-Wen and I
developed the Grand Unified Builder (GUB) to produce all these
binaries in one go.

Greetings,
Jan.

*) currently, all is: GNU/Linux x86, MacOS X powerpc & x86, FreeBSD
   and a number of Windows flavours.
