Thanks, JMarc; so I should have called it e.g..
/configure --with-version-suffix=-2-2
or
/configure --with-version-suffix=2-2 for a shorter name.
Well, I can live with it.

If you don't want to reconfigure & recompile just for the name change, 
then consider this:

alias lyx22="lyx-latestdev"

After that, the command lyx22 does what you want :-)

Helge Hafting

Good idea. Thanks
Wolfgang

using lyx gives me the old 2.1 version,

It is named lyx-latestdev.

I have installed the new Lyx 2.2(rc1) thanks to the help of several
people of this list. I wanted to keep the 2.1 version. I have
therefore started the new version by using src/lyx on the command
line (produced by ./configure and make - but omitted the make install
so far).
However, starting the old lyx 2.1 with

Does the new lyx use some of the resources and what could I do?
Can I change the name of the new Lyx to e.g. Lyx2-2 at this stage
(perhaps while doing make install) and get the resources back again?

The "new" lyx has updated stuff in your .lyx/ directory - the "old"
lyx does not understand and fails.

You can get the old lyx working by removing any new files from .lyx/
that the new lyx has created there,
or removing the entire .lyx directory. (That will also remove your
preferences, so you may have to re-set
anything in tools->preferences as well as any default document->settings.

To avoid this sort of thing, when you compile a test version of LyX:
./configure --with-version-suffix  (as well as any other parameters
you may want)
When you "make install", you will then get lyx-2.2dev which will store
its settings in .lyx-2.2dev/ and there will be no conflict with your
older lyx 2.1

Helge Hafting

Thanks, Helge. I should have thought of this. Wolfgang

You can always use your 'private' user dir to avoid clashes.
# mkdir ~/.lyx2.1
# /lyx -usedir ~/.lyx2.1

Kornel

That is probably the easiest way. Thanks, Kornel
