I am using Ubuntu 7.10, and I cannot install LyX using Synaptic (the package installation system of Ubuntu) because I have a TeXLive in stallation, installed from the CD, and the paths are not the same of the Ubuntu installation; so if I try to install from Synaptic, the animal complains saying that it will also install TeX, which will mess up all the TeXLive paths (already tried, a whole evening lost uninstalling and in stalling again TeX). Also the debian installer tries to do the same. Questions: (1) is compilation on Ubuntu difficult? I thinks that compiling and installing manually should avoid the problem I mentioned; (2) if (1) is not practical, can anyone suggest all the symlink that I should set up to persuade Synaptic that I have already a TeX system running?
