I found that installing the pdflatex program fixes the issue, but the

something along the lines: "pdflatex was not found. Please install it
and reconfigure before running make top-doc".
I thought our default idea was to use xelatex?
Xelatex is optional. If you have it installed make will use that, else if not
you get a 'warning' during the .configure and PDFlatex (or whatever the
standard requirement is) will be used instead.
As to what Karl has commented on, I believe that the .configure output WILL
post a warning.
Karl note that you can still compile LilyPond without PDFlatex, you just cannot
compile the docs (and the reg tests).
