Compiled myself from the lilypond-2.6.5.tar.gz I got from the lilypond
website.

Using eps ghostscript 7.07. This is what is installed at present with a
default Gentoo installation. I made no change from this when I installed
my version of the distribution. In the ebuild files for any package that
depends on ghostscript I find a virtual/ghostscript which I believe
means that any ghostscript installation will suffice.

I got the same errors switching to ghoscript-gnu (8.16) so I uninstalled
my old copy of lilypond, ran ./configure --prefix=usr (no warnings this
time), rebuilt and reinstalled it. I still get the same errors
(ghostscript_gnu_8_16.log)

So I unmasked mftrace in the Gentoo portage system and upgraded to it.
After which I uninstalled lilypond, ran ./configure --prefix=/usr,
rebuilt and reinstalled.

Only by doing the last step was I am to compile my test.ly without
errors. I hope the attached information helps.
