The inserted file compiles just fine on my system.

Looking at the error msgs you provided it seems as if the file you
mailed to the list is not what you used to create the errors shown,
because...

...this is line 16 of what you provided while lilypond is calling it
line 27. Makes 11 lines of other stuff before the code you'd shown.

[Rest snipped as the following lines are equally off]

I'd suggest you try to compile the raw file affen.ly on the commandline
without doing any fancy include stuff inside other systems to check if
your lilypond installation is basically working.

Once that's established you can then work on the mediawiki integration.
Any errors you'd encounter then aren't lilypond but mediawiki
integration related.

HTH,
Michael
