Hi all, after some work and reading posts on this list, I have managed to complile Lyx from source with the qt frontend. Wow, it is indeed nice, cheers to the developers. Here is a summary of what worked on this end, for those who may have similar problems. My setup: Mandrake 9.0, gcc3.2, qt 3.1 (The rpm at the ftp site did not want to work here.) cd to where Lyx is export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 ./configure --with-frontend=qt (learned this from a previous post) then the usual make and make install Works like a charm.
One question, I have installed the preview-latex files and checked the box for instant preview in Lyx. I do not see anything happening. Is there some additional configuring of preview-latex I need to do?? PS I come from the windows world; have been with Linux for 4 months; learning curve is steep but a great process. Goodbye windows. best regards, b.... -- *************************************************************** William O.
