I removed LilyPond and LilyPond doc RPMs, but kept Ghostscript and
compatibility libs. Then I tried autopackage, the installation script
says:

        Vérification de versions de bilbiothèque C requise ...  OK
        Vérification de FreeType font library ...  OK
        Vérification de Standard C++ library ...  à échoué
        -------------------------------
        Erreur: Package 'Standard C++ library' was found but was of the
        wrong version and the correct version could not be located.
        
        [IV 3 for @gnu.org/libstdc++]
        
        Erreur: Ne peut pas préparer le paquet LilyPond.
        
libstdc++ version 4.0.0-8 is installed on my system.

After that I decided to build Lily from the source tarball... and
everything worked perfectly [after potrace, t1utils and mftrace
installation and including /sbin in PATH], including the documentation
building!
What do you think of that?
I hope Lily 2.6 RPMs will work for most users... I'm sorry I can't help
building RPMs (until I learn how to).
