The error's wording is a bit awkward and could use commas.

It's just saying that you need texi2pdf, texindex, epsf.tex, pltotf, and the lh CTAN \
package. The latter can be installed via `texlive-lh` on Fedora, and the other ones \
are part of these packages:

This is all stuff needed for compiling the documentation, not for compiling LilyPond \
itself, so if you don't care about the documentation, you can also pass \
`--disable-documentation` and it should stop complaining.
