Did you succeed in installing LilyPond on Lion? How?

After downloading the (precompiled) LilyPond, I am getting: Lilypond-error

In plain text:

LilyPond Error

An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script

ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/objc/_objc.so, 2): Symbol not found: _objc_sync_notify

Referenced from: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/objc/_objc.so Expected in: /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib

And yet I duly have:

ls -l /usr/lib/libobjc*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1997152 21 Jul 01:27 /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 21 Jul 01:28 /usr/lib/libobjc.dylib -> libobjc.A.dylib

The problem is not that the file is not there, it is that a "symbol" (code entry point) is no longer there. – Jason Salaz♦ Nov 2 '11 at 19:31
I have not successfully gotten LilyPond to run on Lion. – Daniel Lawson♦ Nov 2 '11 at 20:01

@Daniel: I wish they wouldn't just write "for OS X 10.4 and above". It's a little bit too optimistic. – Calaf Nov 2 '11 at 20:18
@JasonSalaz ..So I guess I should have written otool -X /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib . Except that none of the switches I tried in the place of -X would reveal the symbols in a dylib. Anyway, I don't doubt that the symbol in question is indeed missing. – Calaf Nov 2 '11 at 20:20

The problem is solved in the development version, download from LilyPond Development Page and use at own risk.

Indeed, LilyPond 2.15.16 works fine on Lion. And it is already compiled, despite being from the development branch. – Calaf Nov 3 '11 at 3:48
