What required program are you asked to install? if it is
fontforge, I run Ubuntu and had the same problem. Uninstall
fontforge, compile it from source and you'll almost certainly
solve the problem.
Could you elaborate a little on this for those
Ubuntu users who are less familiar with compiling
packages from source. Where to find the source,
how to compile it, for example.
OK, I think I figured this out now. (if there's an
easier way, please let us Unix illiterati know)
In Ubuntu:
Go to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fontforge/files/fontforge-source/
Click the 2010-05-01 version
In the download panel select Save File and click OK
This downloads the zipped source into ~/Downloads
Extract the archived source files
then
In a terminal window:
cd to ~/Downloads/fontforge-20100501
Type ./configure (takes a few minutes)
Type make (compiles the package - also takes quite a time)
Type make install (installs the package in usr/bin)
cd to lilypond-git
Type ./configure (should now find fontforge-20100501)
That's it!
