Cheers everyone for your reply, I'm a bit embarrased at what the solution was (oh dear)
I had set up a seperate partion for the lilypond builds on my laptop, but had forgot to add the exec flag in fstab config file for the partion (I'm a total linux virgin, be gentle with me!). This meant everything was blowing up and I was going up a million blind alleys. It would also help if I wasn't the village idiot! Thanks loads Johannes, Joe, Reinhold for all your help and patience dealing with a total thick newbie (The forum is great and you guys are all so supportive, many thanks).
