I just updated to LyX 1.6.8 on my gentoo amd64 box. Which mean I
downloaded the

It appears that some features are missing or unreachable:
- no menu item to insert pagebreaks, hyperlinks, URL
- no way to display available symbols
- no way to spit main window.
There might be other missing features that I havn't found yet.
So what happened ? Is it my compile or are they gone from this version ?
Will they be back on 2.0 ?
If you had a very old LyX, maybe things have moved. I don't
have LyX 1.6.8, but 1.6.7 and 2.0 both do this:
pagebreak: Insert->Formatting->Page break
URL: Insert->URL
Symbols: Insert->Special Characters->Symbols...
Splitting the main window:
View->Split View (two alternatives)
Note that some features may be missing, if LyX believes you don't
have them. (I.e. URL.sty is missing, and similiar)
Try Tools->Reconfigure and restart LyX. Make sure latex is installed
on the box.
The other possibility is that you have some problem with your local LyX
directory, $HOME/.lyx/ by default. Try launching LyX as:
lyx -userdir /tmp/lyx
to try with a fresh directory. If that works, delete $HOME/.lyx/, saving
whatever you need somewhere else, and start from there.
