Compiling from scratch will do nothing about this; compiling from
scratch will just give you the command-line app that already works
as part of the precompiled binaries.

If you're seriously interested in fixing this, search the -devel
mailist for the numerous discussions about what Apple broke in
10.5.  But if you're not prepared to do a fair amount of low-level
hacking in python and OSX packages, then I highly advise you to
either use the command-line version, or use jedit (lilypondtool, I
think it's called?)
