will be fixed, hopefully, in pl12
As i found out, ly2dvi tries to guess $LILYPONDPREFIX,
and wants to set that to overrule lily's compiled-in
datadir.
If you set LILYPONDPREFIX to where your ./init ./scm ./afm etc
lives, it'll work. I run lily always from the sourcedir, and
have LILYPONDPREFIX=$HOME/usr/share/lilypond, and symlinks
from there.
