Why, what errors did you get?  We may want to fix this.

Something went terribly/funnily wrong; echo was trying to remind you
that you need PYTHON >= 2.0.  We're not using any advanced features
of echo :-)

Looks good.

It looks as if you may have a problem with your guile installation;
lilypond is running fine.

Could you try running these commands (should display nothing):

    $ guile -c '(use-modules (oop goops))'
    $ guile -c '(use-modules (srfi srfi-13))'
    $ guile -c '(use-modules (srfi srfi-1))'

We had reports that guile-1.6.0 had problems wrt the srfi shared
libraries that were fixed in guile-1.6.4.  I'm sorry that I cannot be
more specific in this.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
