I wonder what changed between 2.1.4 and 2.2.0. If you wanted you could try 2.1.4's configure.py with 2.2.0. I do not recommend this at all. My guess is something would go quite wrong. Another thing to try would be to do a git bisect. You would need to compile LyX though. Or you can wait a few days and see if someone responds with a better idea. Scott
