Hi! all

I have been unable to install the 1.6 RC1 on my Ubuntu Hardy box. Actually I
can ./configure and make but "make install" keeps failing with the following
log.

make  install-data-hook

Is it a bug of the LyX itself? I have been suspicious of my qt4 libraries,
so I have taken their Debian versions and tried
again but am still failing.

This doesn't have to do with qt4. For some reason, the lyx2lyx program is apparently not being copied to its installed location. I'd have a look at /usr/local/share/lyx and see what you have there. Is something preventing the copy?

The other thing that strikes me is the fact that you have a space in the path to the sources" "My Downloads". It's possible that make is choking on that. Try moving the tree somewhere else, with no spaces.
