It's just my user's prompt. It shows that I'm in my home dir.

Here it is, also with output of the other commands.
By the way, I should note that using --prefix puts things in a different
place from what I expect (but omitting it didn't solve the problem). The
structure with --prefix is

home
/bin
/lilypond
//lilypond
///license
///usr
////bin
////etc
////lib
////share
////var

[~]# lilypond_install/lilypond-2.18.2-1.linux-64.sh --prefix lilypond
