Hello, I also tried in vain to compile the 1.5.59 sources on a Red Hat (6.2 I think) linux machine in our institute; although the failure is for a slightly different reason. The output of the command...:
------------------------------------------------------------------------- rurik:lilypond-1.5.59:1008$ ./configure --prefix=/stage/rurik/emin/davidb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...ends with: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: Please consider installing optional programs: pktrace ERROR: Please install required programs: gcc 2.8 (installed: egcs-2.91.66) c++ 2.95 (installed: egcs-2.91.66) See INSTALL.txt for more information on how to build LilyPond Remove config.cache before rerunning ./configure ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The INSTALL.txt says that 'EGCS 1.1 may work but is no longer supported.' With 2.91.66 I first naively thought that I was safe, but `rpm -qi egcs` tells me that while the program version is 2.91.66, the source rpm version is 1.1.2-30. This is confusing, not by lilypond's fault, but I think it would be useful to mention BOTH numbers in the INSTALL.txt. And since the configure script refuses to produce Makefiles for gcc=egcs-2.91.66, the phrase 'may work but' should be replaced by 'will not work and'. I am a bit surprised, though; all linux machines in our institute seem to have egcs-2.91.66, also the relatively recently installed ones (one year ago), so it seems a bit drastic to me to stop support for this compiler. Version 1.4.13 compiles without problems, though (except for the docs).
