Thanks for your suggestions, I am afraid it is not that easy to install these various dependencies. It is more complex, I need to install many packages and remove many packages to satisfy the decencies between packages. I added one source list of lyx 1.64 of ubuntu9.10 to my source list, and I tried the command 'sudo aptitude install lyx', it got several solutions to install lyx 1.64, but it seemed that I will remove nearly all of packages in my ubuntu 8.04 and install new packages. so I did not dare to try that, it may harm my current system. If someone had experienced a successful case like this, please give me some suggestions, thanks in advance. And also any other solution will be welcomed. weidong
