This puzzles me.  I did not specify *any* options when I
did ./autogen.sh.  I looked through ~/lilypond/configure and saw that --
enable-gui is set to 'no' by default.

Not sure, see below about XFree86.

I would find this most welcome.

Ok, that looks as though it might be the case.

Ok.

But, when I try to install the pango-devel RPM it starts screaming for
XFree86-devel and XFree86 does not even seem to be a part of Fedora Core
3.  XFree86-devel will demand XFree86 which may demand something else...
