I managed to get lilypond-book working with an ugly work-around.
But it does illustrate what is going wrong.

When I run lilypond using "lilypond" or "/usr/bin/lilypond" the lilypond 
files are searched under /usr/share/lilypond/

But when I use "/bin/lilypond" (which is what lilypond-book does on my 
Fedora system) it tries to search under /share/lilypond - and this does 
not exist.

I did "sudo mkdir /share" and "ln -s /usr/share/lilypond /share/lilypond" 
and now everything, including lilypond-book works as expected.


I am glad this works, but does anyone know how to fix this properly ?
