Not such a silly question... (I don't know why this never has dawned on
me, I have always installed tarballs as root...) I did get something
different when I ran:

rpm -Uvh lilypond-1.4.2-imdk.rpm

Now it is telling me that the 'libintl.so.1', so now it is just a matter
of finding what this library is, even running as root:

urpmf libintl.so.1

still returns nothing...

Thanks to everyone, I still want to do this, and I do appreciate your
patience,
