problem building: guile

[Scott Webber]

Hi, I'm trying to get into lilypond development.  Possibly add some cool 
percussion stuff.  I'm having trouble building.  Here's what make is 
outputting:

/usr/share/guile/1.6/srfi/srfi-13.scm:159:1: In procedure dynamic-link 
in expression (load-extension "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1" 
"scm_init_srfi_13"):
/usr/share/guile/1.6/srfi/srfi-13.scm:159:1: file: 
"libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1", message: 
"libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so: cannot open shared object file: No 
such file or directory"
make[2]: *** [out/lilypond-internals.texi] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/batsshadow/lilypond/Documentation/user'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/batsshadow/lilypond/Documentation'
make: *** [all] Error 2


I have guile 1.6.4 built from the tarball.  I did a locate and found 
that the .so file is indeed located in /usr/local/lib.  I'm not too 
familiar with linux-style build process - make/configure, etc.  Running 
guile-config I get:

[lilypond]$ guile-config link
-L/usr/local/lib -lguile -lguile-ltdl -lcrypt -lm

which clearly shows the correct directory, but how do I tell the 
config/make where to find the stuff?

Thanks in advance,
Scott Webber

P.S.  Entirely different subject:  GTK+2 and pango aren't required to 
build, right? Because I'm running Mandrake 9.2 and the rpm builds on my 
system are too old but replacing them would be a pain in the arse due to 
all the dependencies.   And one more question:  Does the bison 1.875 or 
flex 2.5.4 things mentioned in the documentation affect me, or does the 
build process have work arounds built in?  Thanks again.
