I should have asked before, - anyway, I did run it already as root.

And would a svn update (root or user?) run in my /local folder give me the latest lyx as kind of lyx-2.x.x in a folder in /local/lyx-2.x.x or whatever, in which I have to use the steps above y...@yourmachine:~/local/lyx-2.x.x$ sudo make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/lyx2.x.x etc ... ? Sorry for my confusion, but thankful for your patience Wolfgang
