I tried to install LilyPond 2.12 on an Ubuntu machine. I found a very
strange thing I couldn't explain, and couldn't solve.
I used the script to install:

sudo sh lilypond-X.Y.Z.linux-x86.sh
    

I hope this is not the exact command you issued.
  

No, it's not :-)

Then I try to run lilypond:
lilypond test.ly

and I get:

exec: 4: /usr/local//lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond: not found
    

What's the output of "whereis lilypond" ?
  

lilypond: /usr/local/bin/lilypond /usr/local/lilypond

But the file is actually there:

stat /usr/local//lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond

File: `/usr/local//lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond'
    

Did you have the lilypond package previously installed from the
standard repositories?

  

No, IIRC I used the installer script for 2.10. Before installing 2.11 I uninstalled it.
