You can get the latest version of LilyPond at
ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/
-(ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/). Refer to the links document

_If you upgrade by patching do remember to rerun autoconf after
applying the patch_.
If you do not want to download the entire archive for each version,
the safest method for upgrading is to use `xdelta', see
-`ftp://ftp.xcf.berkeley.edu/pub/xdelta/'
+`ftp://ftp.xcf.berkeley.edu/pub/xdelta/'.
The following command produces `lilypond-1.1.55.tar.gz' from
`lilypond-1.1.54' identical (up to compression dates) to the .55 on the
strongly recommended. Xdvi will show all embedded PostScript
too if you have Ghostscript installed.

Lily will crash during parsing (which suggests a C++ library
incompatibility). Precise cause, precise platform description or
solution are not known.
Note that this only happens on some computers with the said
platform.

LilyPond occasionally crashes while parsing the initialisation
files. This is a very obscure bug, and usually entering the
commandline differently "fixes" it.

The following is from the gcc install/SPECIFIC file.
Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a

add -Wl,-bbigtoc to USER_LDFLAGS, ie:
LDFLAGS='-Wl,-bbigtoc' ./configure
