I did a local install, and it works fine as

~/bin/lilypond

and so on for the other applications.  This seems to be the

(Actually, it seems to be the default now, but never mind.)

I'm not sure this says that the given file wasn't found.  I 
think it says that the given file was executed and returned 
the error "not found".

That's the right file.
