I have no problem with trying the latest snapshot. I just don't
have the
time to figure out how to install svn and use it (seems like it is
a little
bit of a process from reading the lyx webpage). I'm trying to write
a thesis
at the same time :)
It's actually simpler than what you've already done. If you use
macports, simply enter "sudo port install subversion" and wait until
it's done. If you use fink (or Fink Commander) it's equally easy.
Then follow the instructions on the lyx webpage, which are
straightforward:
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel
cd lyx-devel
Once you've got the sources, you'll need to run ./autogen.sh, then
configure (with the same options you used for beta1), and make.
To update the sources, simply cd to the lyx-devel directory and enter:
svn up
You can then recompile (usually -- but not always -- skipping
configure and going straight to make).
