lilypond-book in 2.11.57

[Laura Conrad]

I'm doing my first big project on 2.11, and I've gotten to the stage
where I want to print several movements of a sonata as one pdf
document.

My 2.10 makefile doesnt' work, because lilypond-book no longer has a
--psfonts option.

So I looked at the documentation
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Invoking-lilypond_002dbook#Invoking-lilypond_002dbook>
for what I'm supposed to do now, and
tried both options.

This is an ubuntu hardy heron system, with lilypond 2.11.57 installed
as a user from the GUB.

When I run "lilypond-book --pdf sonate.lytex", I get:

     Running lilypond...GNU LilyPond 2.10.33
     Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file

Note that this is the wrong version of lilypond -- 2.10.33 is
installed systemwide, but the user who's installed the GUB expects to
be running 2.11.57.

Then it chugs for a while and says:

     Preprocessing graphical objects...
     (process:6022): Pango-CRITICAL **: No modules found:
     No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found.
     PangoFc will not work correctly.
     This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
       '/usr/etc/pango/pango.modules'
       You should create this file by running:
         pango-querymodules > '/usr/etc/pango/pango.modules'
     (process:6022): Pango-WARNING **: failed to find shape engine, expect ugly 
output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'
         
     (process:6022): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_fc_font_lock_face: assertion 
`PANGO_IS_FC_FONT (font)' failed
    Segmentation fault
    command failed: /usr/bin/lilypond --formats=ps -dbackend=eps  -I  
"/home/newlily/music/bigaglia/amin" --formats=eps --pdf -dinclude-eps-fonts 
-dgs-load-fonts  -deps-box-padding=3.000000  -dread-file-list 
-dno-strip-output-dir 
/home/newlily/music/bigaglia/amin/snippet-names--1990410836.ly
    Child returned 139

So lilypond-book is definitely not respecting the user's path when
running lilypond.  There may also be other problems with the pango
errors, but I can definitely say there's a bug in the way lilypond is
being run here.
