Don't mess up root and your normal user.  I know it's tempting
when you're install new software and testing ./autogen.sh

 cd ~/lilypond-src
 find . -user "root"

if you see anything,
 sudo find . -user "root" | xargs rm -rf

PS I spent 15 minutes on this problem two days ago, so it's fresh
in my mind.  :)

Thanks Graham. There was a ton of stuff owned by root in the lybook-db/ directory. I tried your command to xarg rm -rf but it said permission denied (even though I did it as sudo and typed the password).  What I did was a sudo chown -R and then chgrp -R to reassign the owner and group. Now it's compiling away. :)

What I don't understand is how the permissions got jacked up in the first place. I didn't do anything different this time than I usually do.  I've never had the permissions problem before. Maybe I put a "sudo" in there inadvertently but I don't recall doing any sudos until "sudo make install." Do you think that was the problem?

Re: the lilybuntu remix, I've removed a ton of applications but I can't get the .iso image below 853 MB. I'll try it with the xfce desktop and if that doesn't help I'll try it with ubuntu-lite, which does not yet have a stable release but is only 356 MB on the live CD, leaving plenty of room to add the lilypond build dependencies.
