I found out that MetaPost wasn't installed on my system. The following
text in INSTALL.txt didn't tell me that I really needed it. And since I'm
no real TeX wizard...

* MetaPost, if you want to use direct PostScript output. Please note
that tetex-0.4pl8 (included with Redhat 5.x) does not include
`mfplain.mp', which is needed for producing the scaleable font
files.

With MetaPost installed, `mfplain.mp' is in the right directory on my
SuSE Linux 6.2, and so Lilypond 1.2.17 compiles.
