"myLilyEditor.glade" does not mean "in the same directory as the
executable" but "in the current working directory".

Usually you define a constant from your Makefile.am (e.g.
PACKAGE_DATA_DIR) and construct a full path with g_build_filename():

GladeXML *xml;
char *glade_file;

glade_file = g_build_filename (PACKAGE_DATA_DIR,
                               "myLilyEditor.glade",
                               NULL);
xml = glade_xml_new (glade_file, NULL, NULL);
g_free (glade_file);

Also note that libglade is deprecated and should not be used in new
projects - it is highly recommended that you use GtkBuilder instead (the
glade UI editor also supports that file type)
