I would like to try and compile as you've done, probably tomorrow. Although on my old iBook it will take around 20hrs. I tried to compile LyX1.5.0beta2 with Qt4.3.0 and the ./configure was successful and found the qt4 directory follwing Bennett's and Jean-Marc's suggestions. However, the make command gave some error messages and then after make install LyX did not work. I think I would rather start from scratch with the latest qt snapshot, hopefully following what you did and what Bennett recommended and it will work. Thanks for everyone's input, Bob Lounsbury
