Jean-Marc, you have been very kind to answer my ignorant questions. I'm
sure you have much to do. It's ok with me if you just ignore this.
I unpacked the lyx distribution for compiling in the directory:
/usr/local/lyx-1.0.0pre2
Then I compiled it and installed it. The executable "lyx" is at
/usr/local/bin/lyx and Lyx "Help" reports that the library files are at
/usr/local/share/lyx.
So, I just took a deep breath and did rm -r -f /usr/local/lyx-1.0.Opre2 to
get rid of all the files there. Then I ran lyx. It ran fine.
>From this, I conclude that after lyx is installed one may delete the
directory tree into which the lyx distribution was unpacked. If this is a
terrible blunder, I will learn it soon enough!
