Are there any packages needed that are not available for your distribution?

Maybe we should find out and list the most convenient installation commands
for each distribution, like I did for Debian at

    http://lilypond.org/web/devel/packaging.html

It should really not have to be more than a apt-get, yum,
what-have-you command or two.

Ah, that's better than the compile failures you saw before.

It should probably be one of those, the -devel package.  The package
is called gtk+, but different distributions use different, often
unpredictable names.

Thanks, that should read [lib]pango-dev[el]

Ah, but that's because you build from CVS.  You're supposed to know
to look at Documentation/topdocs/INSTALL.texi ;-)

Not at all, you have quite specific and clear bug reports.
