Not sure, but this appears to be caused a bad makefile (produced by automake).

I dont know the answer to this either.

I should update the output of the 'fonts' command so that it shows bank offset.

I'm not sure how vkeybd works.  I tested the bank offset feature by routing
messages from a virtual midi device to fluidsynth and sending bank select and
program change messages to the virtual device with amidi.

Check to make sure that in your /etc/hosts file you have 

120.0.0.1     localhost.localdomain  localhost

It looks like your system can't resolve the name 'localhost' into the IP
address 127.0.0.1.

Fix this, and FluidGUI should start working again.

Too detailed, actually.  I gave up trying to understand everything that you
have going on.
