Re: install of Lyx 2.2 and texlive2016

[UD]

I can answer my own question: If I start tlmgr from the terminal with: tlmgr gui -font "helvetica 12" then tlmgr opens with a usable size font, and all is well. E.

In lack of specific knowledge and brain power I used my gut feeling instead and added the following packages: perl-tk perl-Gtk2 libxft-dev gtk+2.0 gtk+3.0 These in turn required quite a number of dependencies. # ./install -gui and the Gui 2016 menu dialogue popped up I accepted the default settings and the installation finished without problem. In the end I was urged to add "/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux" to my PATH. I will do that as Miguel told me and enter that line in LyX Preferences' as PATH prefix. This is nice, but that way you will use TL2016 _only_ from lyx. I prefer to change my PATH directly, so that I have always access to the installed texlive. The Perl/Tk installation is indeed very distro-specific! Thanks very much for your valuable tips and advice. Next challenge will be to install Lyx 2.2. Miguel, please tell me if there is anything special to be obeyed - I may also ask Scott Kostyshak. All the best and a nice weekend!
