right.  Oops, I'd forgotten about this until just now:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2184

That's pretty much all I know about this, though.  The next stage
in the investigation would be to remove all traces of netpbm (lock
files, hashes, downloaded tarballs, build directories, etc), run
make lilypond, then try to see exactly where it fails.  Adding
print statements to gub/specs/netpbm.py may help.

Yes and no.  Most of the work was done by Jan, who is still around
occasionally, but I don't think he's a regular reader of -devel
any more.
