Colin,

After decompression of the "official" Lilypond 2.15.11 ppc download its 
application icon is covered with the circle and slash indicating 
incompatibility. The download was from the Lilypond.org site. I have not 
attempted local compiling except for some very early versions using   Fink 
open-source file management. That was also many computers and operating systems 
ago.

As stated, 2.15.8 downloaded and runs as expected.

If I can assist in any way, I'll do my best.
