Same error as in November

[Alan McConnell]

Greetings!

I gave up on LilyPond 1.4.8 in November, and got busy on other things.
But a week or so ago I got version 1.4.9 and today I got a chance to
work on it.   I have made some progress, since my ./configure went
OK(I had managed to install what seems to be a workable libkpathsea).

But my build crashed, basically at the same point as it did in November.
Here are the last few lines:

               ------------------------------------------(finish)

I am running Debian Woody.

With reference to my system prerequisites, enumerated in the INSTALL.txt
that came with 1.4.9,  I have the following items:

I have gcc 3.0

"python --version" doesn't work; but I have /usr/bin/python _and_
/usr/bin/python1.5 

I have guile 1.4

I have GNU Make, of course

"flex --version" returns "flex version 2.5.4" but it is really 2.5.4a,
since I downloaded flex, built it, and installed it as per directions

I have bison 1.28

I have TeX, which has always worked fine for me.  I have installed
the kpathsea libraries; "ls /usr/lib/libkp*" returns

/usr/lib/libkpathsea.a    /usr/lib/libkpathsea.so.3@
/usr/lib/libkpathsea.so@  /usr/lib/libkpathsea.so.3.3.1

I don't have texinfo, but I think I have lots of documentation . . .

I have geometry.cfg and geometry.sty, down inside . ./tex/latex/ . . .

I have MetaPost and mfplain.mp

        I trust that this list of prerequisites is complete; but maybe not . .

Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated.

TIA and best wishes,

Alan
