Hi,

My administrator has installed lyx (1.3.1) on my Linux
machine (Red Hat Enterprise 9.0). Since I do not have
the root privilege, I wonder if there are good ways
for me to:

(1) Creat a local texmf so that I can add some
additional latex packages for use with lyx (and
general latex use as well). I hope that I do not have
to change the texmf.cnf, since the computer is used by
multiple users.

(2) Not bother the administrator every time I want to
upgrade to a higher version of lyx. Can I just compile
a local version of lyx coexisting with the older
version installed by the root? If so, is there a step
by step instruction for that ? (I am pretty new to
Linux).

The lyx is installed under /usr/share/lyx and my local
user folder is at ~/.lyx/

Thanks a lot!

Best,

Jianwei
