I suspect that LilyPond's configure script did not detect the required
Century Schoolbook fonts.  Unfortunately, we rely on Fontconfig to
find them, but this doesn't always work.

I think the workaround is to pass

  --with-ncsb-dir=/path/to/the/fontdir

to configure.

On my GNU/Linux system, these fonts are located here:

  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059016l.pfb
  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059036l.pfb
  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059033l.pfb
  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059013l.pfb

Hope this helps, and let us know if it doesn't work.

Thanks,
Patrick
