Re: make error when building

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's a problem with your teTeX installation. You didn't say what
system you use, but my guess is that teTeX has been split into
several packages on your particular Linux distribution and that
you need to install some more (possibly something with metafont, mf or
-dev in the name).

However, why compile yourself when there are nice installers available
at www.lilypond.org that work directly on most systems?
