Good news and better news

[David Rysdam]

Here's the saga: I downloaded 1.3.127.  Configure
warned me that I had guile 1.3 and needed 1.3.4.  It
kept going though, and rpm -q told me I had 1.3.4
installed.  Glitch, I figured.  

It compiles for a while and then I get a slew of
linker errors about "scm-blah".  I know this is guile
stuff, so I look around.  Long story short, I had
manually installed guile 1.3 a long time ago and
forgotten about it.  Lilypond was using THAT instead
of the newer RPM version I installed.

I removed all traces of that.  The guile 1.4 rpm I
found didn't have guile-config, so I reverted to the
1.3.4 rpm.  Much ado.  Created a manual link in
/usr/share/lilypond to point to
/usr/share/local/lilypond.  

Result: Segfaults have ceased.  Postscript output
seems to work.  I am happy.  Thanks for all the help!
