Oops, I'm sorry.  I didn't realize something newer than 1.5.57 was
out.  With 1.5.59 I get:

  WARNING: Please consider installing optional programs:  pktrace makeinfo 4.1 
(installed: found)

  ERROR: Please install required programs:  gcc 2.8 (installed: found) c++ 2.95

I'm pretty sure I do:

  address@hidden(lilypond-1.5.59) where gcc c++
  /usr/bin/gcc
  /usr/bin/c++
  address@hidden(lilypond-1.5.59) c++ --version ; gcc --version

  2.95.3

So I think it's found my compiler, but I don't understand what the
ERROR is all about.

Thanks,
