Grab ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.6.tar.gz Then, unpack it into a directory. Use the following commands, sequentially and inside the directory containing the unpacked LyX source: ./configure --with-frontend=qt --with-pspell --with-aiksaurus make make install (as superuser). Instead of "make install", you may want to use checkinstall to build a binary file. Paul
