Did you compile the lilypond *binary* yourself, or did you
download a binary?  (ie GUB)

This command __only__ works if you compiled lilypond yourself.  ie

cd ~/lily
./autogen.sh
make

You need a ton of dependencies for this to be possible.  I
therefore recommend that doc helpers build with GUB.  But to do
that, you *CANNOT* use "make web".  Please see AU 1.2.4 for the
exact command, because I can't remember it.

This is the important line.  It looks like you didn't compile the
lilypond binary.

Please see AU 1.2.4; you want to run all these commands:

     ./autogen.sh   % ignore any warning messages
     cp GNUmakefile.in GNUmakefile
     make -C python
  cd Documentation/user/
     nice make LILYPOND_EXTERNAL_BINARY=/path/to/bin/lilypond web
     % change the lilypond directory as appropriate
