The actual lenny repository offers Lyx 1.5.5.. I tried to compile Lyx 1.6.2 from source but ende with problems in the ./configure-step. with the message:
** Cannot find libz. Please check that the zlib library
  is correctly installed on your system.
I installed a lot of libs from the lenny repository, for instance
lib64z1, libzzip-0-13zlib1g, zlib-bin, zlibc, zlib-gst, zziplib-bin
and tried some installations of zlib and libz from source from offerers of other internetpages as well - no success. I tried the version Lyx 1.6.3 with some new hope but end with the same result. It would be simply great, if anyone would share the secret of that libz or zlib or whatever to get a new version of Lyx running on lenny.
Thanks
