This was my previous method, building from most recent source (which oddly
also reported itself as a version more recent [ie, higher version number]
than that listed on the website as the latest source). However, I am no
longer able to get a working Lilypond via this method, because Gentoo Linux
has dropped support for Guile-1.*. Does newer Lily work with Guile-2.*, or
would this still be an issue?

I'm also unfortunately not able to help in the more generic issue of
ghostscript, because I was updating Lily fairly regularly and can't check
your alternative case. However, for the brief window when 1) I still had
Guile-1.* on my system and 2) had a version of ghostscript that differed
from that packaged with Lily, this was the issue I would encounter. I wrote
the list a couple times over this issue, I think back in November or so.

Hope that helps (though, let's be realistic here: I'm not very helpful,
alas!),

A
