Peter, A little while back I was trying to figure out how to get lilypond 1.8 on RH9. Make sure that you have read the following archived message titled "problems trying out 1.7.29-1 and 30-1" so Han-Wen won't have to repeat the message.
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-08/msg00111.html This one may not have caught your eye (because of the title) but it is relevant to your problem. Just to let you know, I never got lily 1.8 running on RH9. I even went to the trouble of doing a "minimal," fresh install of Redhat without any guile on the system. I was able to install the guile-1.6.4-7.1.i386.rpm, but there was no difference. I got the same errors I always got. I finally gave up on RH9 because of some rpm weirdness. It was telling me things were not installed that were, things were installed that were not, and it hanged a lot of times. I am speaking of the command line rpm. Make sure that you are using the command line rpm and not the software installer or whatever its called. Anyway, I felt guilty asking for more help when my system seemed to be playing with my mind. I switched to mandrake 9.1 and lilypond 1.7.23. Please post back if you get something to work as I am sure there are others in this situation waiting to hear of someone else having success.
