If you read the full line of the printout, you will notice that it 
indeed searches
in the relevant place:

/usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/../share/ghostscript/8.57/lib

When comparing to the printouts I get when running a GUB installation,
it seems very similar and it  is for example normal that it doesn't find any
setting for GS_FONTPATH. However, I notice that it also adds
/home/valentin/.fonts to GS_LIB, which I cannot repeat here unless
I have the environment variable GS_LIB set when calling LilyPond.
I hope you have checked that you don't have any suspicious environment
variable settings.
