Comment #1 on issue 2529 by [email protected]: configure should error for any missing software
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2529
Graham,./configure does give the warning (I get it when I am trying to build a 'lilydev' from scratch and forget to install it) as dblatex is not a trivial package in terms of size IIR when using apt-get.
