Both succeed, but in configure I get:

make all completes no problem

All of my Century files are in /usr/local/share/lilypond/2.17.0/fonts/otf. So 
I'm not sure why Lily is missing them - the most obvious hint seems to be the 
deprecation warning, but as this is a warning and not an error it doesn't seem 
like it should have an impact on the program's correct usage of fonts.  When I 
run LilyPond in verbose mode I get:

Ajout d'un répertoire de fontes : « /usr/local/share/lilypond/2.17.0/fonts/otf »

Could it maybe be a ghostscript problem?
