No, because different flavours of linux have different run time libraries and a single binary would probably crash mysteriously. It really isn't that hard to build if you have a compiler installed. I think I did: ./autogen.sh mkdir build && cd build ../configure (cd boost && make) (cd src/support && make) (cd src/tex2lyx && make install) (cd lib && make install) and then pruned the resulting $PREFIX/share/lyx directory to the state I described in the original mail. Took maybe 10 minutes to do? Of course, I have a functioning build environment, but that should be a doddle to set up on a modern linux machine. -- Angus
