Thanks for helping.
It is not a Samba mount or NFS, to my knowledge. I am definitely not using
it from Windows or anything, I'm just logging in via puTTY.
I am able to create symbolic links, but I think the script is trying to
create them where it cannot

tar: ./usr/lib/libltdl.so: Cannot create symlink to `libltdl.so.7.2.0':
Permission denied

If it weren't for that "./", I would have interpreted the above as trying to
create a symlink in /usr/lib (where I cannot do it) linking into
~/lilypond/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.2.0 (I can see that file there).

To illustrate what I think might be happening:

[~]# ln -s ~/lilypond/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.2.0 libltdl.so
[~]# ls -l libltdl.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 guilioco guilioco 49 Jun  4 12:35 libltdl.so ->
/home1/myusername/lilypond/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.2.0*
[~]# ln -s ~/lilypond/usr/lib/libltdl.so.7.2.0 /usr/lib/libltdl.so
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libltdl.so': Read-only file system
