Strange location for an executable ?? I think something has gone wrong 
somewhere. 

did you try
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin  
before running lilypond test.ly ?

/usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin is problably not in the PATH environment variable.

I don't know the install script, but normal places to intall an executable like 
lilypond are /usr/bin/ or 
/usr/local/bin ??
