Ingenious! Problem 2 fixed. Thanks Todd. In answer to yours. I am not supposed to know the root password and other people use the machine. Hence I can get away with installing software unknown, but not reinstalling the whole operating system. :)
It is compiling as I speak. Hopefully I won't have any more problems.

IIRC, the problem is pkg-config does not know where to look. I think something like setting export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=`find /usr/localTrolltech/Qt -name pkgconfig` before running the lyx configure, would probably do it (assuming only one pkgconfig directory). -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
