I was using Lilypond with no problems yesterday (2.15.20 on Ubuntu
10.04 amd64). I noticed 2.15.21 on lilypond.org this morning, so I
downloaded the Linux 64 version, ran uninstall-lilypond, and installed
2.15.21. On any attempt to run Lilypond I got:
GNU LilyPond 2.15.21
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "lily.scm" in load path
I rebooted, ran uninstall-lilypond again and reinstalled 2.15.20 from
the download I still had from my initial install of 2.15.20, but got
exactly the same error message from 2.15.20, so I ran lilypond inside
strace. This seems to be the relevant portion of the strace log file -
the last couple of dozen lines:

lily.scm is in /usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm,
which is where I would expect it to be. Any suggestions on how to fix
this problem?
