CTAN's `tex-gyre' package does not contains fontconfig conf file for TeX Gyre
files.
Ubuntu's `fonts-texgyre' package contains it.
(Both packages also contain TeX Gyre OTF files.)

Only the installation of CTAN package `tex-gyre' is not enough.
configure script searches TeX Gyre OTF files (texgyreschola-regular.otf etc.) by
fontconfig fc-list utility.
If the fontconfig conf file does not exist, fc-list can not find them, even if
they exist.

If configure option `--with-texgyre-dir' is used, configure script does not use
fc-list.
In that case, configure script uses the option specified directory to find TeX
Gyre OTF files.

In other words, either of the following is required:

 - TeX Gyre OTF files and fontconfig conf file for them (same as Ubuntu's
`fonts-texgyre')
 - TeX Gyre OTF files and configure option `--with-texgyre-dir' to specify them

Just in case that matters here.
