I did a quick test. I'm on Ubuntu 15.04, Evince is called Document 
Viewer. But what I understand it's the same. I'm sure it has worked in 
the past, but now I get an error already in the viewer: "Unable to open 
external link".

I tried the instructions here: 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/configuring-the-system-for-point-and-click#extra-configuration-for-evince. 
But it didn't help.
