I need to recompile. I upgraded to bleeding-edge, pre-release ubuntu Trusty 14.04.  (Yeah. I know. Probably dumb.)

Got a bunch of packages with build-depend ("sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond")

./configure is now giving me:

ERROR: Please install required programs:  FlexLexer.h (flex package) libguile (libguile-dev, guile-devel or guile-dev package). Python.h (python-devel, python-dev or libpython-dev package) lh CTAN package (texlive-lang-cyrillic or texlive-texmf-fonts)

OK. I got it down to:

ERROR: Please install required programs:  FlexLexer.h (flex package) libguile (libguile-dev, guile-devel or guile-dev package). Python.h (python-devel, python-dev or libpython-dev package)

Have you installed the suggested packages? flex, guile-1.8-dev, python-dev, texlive-lang-cyrillic

 

My experience says "python" can be a mess, in terms of versions (backwards incompatibility).  What version of python(s) does lilypond expect?

2.4 is the version of python shipped in the binary packages on the website.

2.7.x is fine as well.

What do you get from?

python -V

 

I have installed all the python "*-dev" packages available to 14.04 at this time ... ( python2.3-dev python2.7-dev python2.4-dev python2.5-dev python2.6-dev python2.7-dev python-dev   libpython2.3 libpython2.4 libpython2.5 libpython2.7 libpython2.7-dev libpython3.3 libpython3.3-dev libpython3.4 libpython3.4-dev libpython-all-dev libpython-dev )

still, lilypond configure complains (!!!)

You installed  too many packages. python-dev is usually a dependency package to the default version of python in your system. Maybe the last Ubuntu is using python3? (just a guess)

 

guile:  I have tried guile2.0 and guile1.8 (they are mutually exclusive; one removes the other on install)

guile2.0 is not supported by lilypond yet

 

flex:  same as with guile, I have installed "flex-old" and "libfl-dev", alternatively (mutually exclusive)

Don't you have a flex package?
