compiling lilypond 2.2 for SuSE

[kris]

I have downloaded the lilypond 2.2.0 source code to compile in SuSE 9.0. 
I followed the instructions exactly.  When running ./configure, it says
it's ready to make and make install.  In several different tries, after
rechecking all the necessary packages, the "make" results in a statement
"Too many errors!  Gave up!", which repeats over and over until I can no
longer see in the shell what the errors were.  I have succesfully compiled
a program before (Rosegarden), though I am new to Linux and may be doing
something wrong.  I am downloading version 1.8 which has a SuSE 9.0 binary
to see if that will work.  Is there an easy way to upgrade that to 2.2
without compiliation?  Or do I have to wait for a bug fix or someone to
sucessfully compile a SuSE installer?  Thank you very much.  The program
looks really great, which is why I really want to get it working soon. 
Thanks a lot for your help.

Sincerely,
Kris Shaffer
