Hi, I'm trying to compile LyX 1.4.1 from source in a KUbuntu 5.10 AMD64 machine with no luck. I've done thins kind of compilation many other times in SuSE i386 and AMD64 machines without problems. The key to it always was the parameters passed to the './configure' script: --with-frontend=qt --with-qt-dir=???? --with-qt-libraries=???? I've tried many combinations of these without luck. Has anybody done this compilation or can give me a clue to what parameters are needed for a successful compilatipn of LyX 1.4.1 in this distribution? Thank you all very much.
I compiled LyX 1.4.1 from source on a Kubuntu 5.10 PPC machine. Take a look at the instructions given on this page: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnDebian#toc6 They work for Kubuntu too. Basically you create you own *.deb packages that you install. A good idea is to uninstall previous LyX packages instead of do a upgrade with your own, because there can be a problem if you only build the Qt frontend yourself when the old package also want to upgrade the xforms frontend. -- Anders Dahnielson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
