Ugh! Here was my configure command: ./configure --with-version-suffix=200 --enable-build-type=release -- with-qt4-dir=/usr/lib/qt4 Here was the error message from ./configure: ====================== **** The following problems have been detected by configure. **** Please check the messages below before running 'make'. **** (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file) ** moc 4 binary not found ! ** uic 4 binary not found ! ** qt 4 library not found ! slitt@mydesk:~/junk/lyx-2.0.0$ ====================== My /usr/lib/qt4 directory has only one subdirectory, called plugins. A locate command indicates the only other qt4 libraries are 32 bit, this is a 64 bit computer, and the 32 bit library has only the same subdirectory. I've installed moc. On every try I delete the whole tree and restore it from tarball so that there are no gotchas from leftover garbage. Where do I go from here? Thanks SteveT
