I have made one change to the spec files (the location of netpm
on lilypond.org has changed), and I did a couple of manual

out-of-the-box. But I have demonstrated that I can get all the
way through it.
Eh? I regularly build GUB out-of-the-box on lilydev [*]. What
exactly do you think you need to do?
Well, I tried building GUB on 11.04, unsuccessfully (I have a file that
kept a record of everything I did, if anybody is interested).
Then I tried on lilydev in a virtual machine, and was also unsuccessful.
I didn't keep a good record of what happened at that time.
So then I tried with a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I was able
to work everything out and get it to build. I will probably try to
summarize the efforts in the miscellaneous part of the CG.
In particular, what's this
netpbm thing?
The source for netpbm on lilypon.org is
http://lilypond.org/download/gub-sources/netpbm-patched/
netpbm-patched-10.35.tar.bz2.
The source entry in gub/gub/specs/netpbm.py is
http://lilypond.org/download/gub-sources/netpbm-patched-10.35.tar.bz2
When the download doesn't succeed, no error is thrown. So as long as you
have the file when it comes time to extract it, you can go ahead. But if
the file isn't there, you end up with an error.
I've made a patch that fixes it and will send it to you.
