0.1.15 installed where? Locally in your account @ ccrma?

AFAICT Grace does not link with fomus, I imagine it just calls the fomus 
executable?

I just built a fomus 0.1.5 package for fc14 and there is an error when 
trying to run a simple example. With this freshly compiled and installed 
fomus I get an error just running /usr/bin/fomus with a single note .fms 
file. The error appears just after it prints "running LilyPond" (it is 
an underfined symbol in /usr/lib/fomus/lilyout.so).
