Re: compilation error in 2.5.26

[Daniel Johnson]

What version of teTeX are you using?  If it's really ancient you might
want to upgrade.  (Metafont is part of the teTeX package, which is
required for building Lilypond.)  The current stable version of teTeX
3.0, but most Linux distributions are shipping 2.0.2 (which is still
good enough).
