OK. I got it down to:

ERROR: Please install required programs:  FlexLexer.h (flex package) 
libguile (libguile-dev, guile-devel or guile-dev package). Python.h 
(python-devel, python-dev or libpython-dev package)


My experience says "python" can be a mess, in terms of versions 
(backwards incompatibility).  What version of python(s) does lilypond 
expect?

I have installed all the python "*-dev" packages available to 14.04 at 
this time ... ( python2.3-dev python2.7-dev python2.4-dev python2.5-dev 
python2.6-dev python2.7-dev python-dev   libpython2.3 libpython2.4 
libpython2.5 libpython2.7 libpython2.7-dev libpython3.3 libpython3.3-dev 
libpython3.4 libpython3.4-dev libpython-all-dev libpython-dev )

still, lilypond configure complains (!!!)

guile:  I have tried guile2.0 and guile1.8 (they are mutually exclusive; 
one removes the other on install)

flex:  same as with guile, I have installed "flex-old" and "libfl-dev", 
alternatively (mutually exclusive)

None of the three complaints go away, with any combination.  I am stumped.
