I just updated the git, and the problem has been corrected somehow.

the updated ./configure told me I was missing the "flex" program. So, I 
apt-get-installed "flex" - surprisingly I did have a package named just 
that (!)... That's strange because it didn't  show up in the "apt-file 
find 'FlexLexer'" output.  I think that was the primary glitch with flex.

the other two complaints - about guile and python - simply went away, 
with the git update (I don't think I changed anything on "my" end)

So, now I have:

$ lilypond --version
GNU LilyPond 2.19.3

thank you to all, extremely much !
