I would like to load lyx in solaris9 on sun OS. is it a painful business ? . If it doesnt go well with solaris, as an alternative I would like to know the best supported unix/linux versions for lyx.
I seem to remember that there were some issues with the Qt 4 libraries
on Solaris, and I don't know if they have been fixed. But you might post
a question to the development list on this issue. We have a developer on
Solaris, though I can't remember who it is now.
Most *nix development happens on Linux, though, so it is very well
supported. There are occasional issues with older distributions, but for
the most part it's just a question of having the right libraries
installed, and most distros will handle that for you. If you want to
compile yourself, then it's a bit more work, but again it's just a
matter of installing the right headers, and wading through the
./configure output.
