I am running Simply Mepis - a debian distribution - on an intel machine. I tried installing 1.3.6 from the tar.gz version while leaving undisturbed, the 1.3.4 version installed from the .deb file some time ago. It was a dream doing so and running src/lyx brought up lyx 1.3.6. After make install, which appeared to run without errors, I got the following error message when trying to run lyx from the command line. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified lyx: cannot connect to X server :0 Calling up an existing lyx document invokes lyx 1.3.4 Anything that I can do about this? samar
