You could search the archive for this info, if I remember correctly the fix was to either downgrade qt4 or upgrade LyX. To install LyX from source please reference this very recent post: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg65435.html Cheers, /Bob I am the one who upgraded 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 following Bob's suggestions. It runs faster than 1.5.3. However once I have successfully upgraded then I encountered a problem, while I was working and press F7 for English spelling check. A window pop up saying it could not find a file (english.hash). Then what I did: duplicating file british.hash and renaming with "english.hash" Now spelling checker works as expected..(for the thesaurus..no problem) regards Adi Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address. www.yahoo7.com.au/mail
