CAUTION - I am no expert - backup you computer and take out life insurance
before listening to me! Seriously, I am not an expert on this - I just had
the same problem..
Somewhere in the lyx source tree there is a typo error in a few of the
lines of the file it mentions - pt.po - at the lines it mentions...
so find the file
cd /usr/local/src/lyx-1.0.1 (or where ever your source is)
find ./ -name pt.po -print
look at the path and cd to the correct directory
make a backup copy of the file you are about to edit...
cp pt.po pt.po.original
then use an editor that allows you to go to particular line numbers, I
use emacs like this
emacs +923 pt.po
The error is obvious when you look at the lines above it which are
correctly typed. Look at the respective error message for that line and
correct it
Repeat for each error then cd back and type 'make' again and if it is
happy it will carry on. I have actually posted to the development list
about this oddity but as I am no expert I don't know much about why or how
this is all a problem.
Good Luck
James
