Julio, David:
I do not have the ubuntu-provided install of texlive. However, I do have 2 working texlive installs: the 2010 texlive and the 2011 texlive. I need to keep the older one around for a while until a book I wrote with it is actually printed. I have no problems from the command line. I just switch the paths around in my .profile file. But I want to have texlive as the default, so that all my new projects compile with the newer installation and newer packages. Again, I can accomplush the task easily from the command line, and pdflatex and companions work as expected. It' s just Lyx that's giving me problems. A far I can tell, when I hit reconfigure it finds the older 2010 installation and it stops there. Is LyX using the PATH variable to search for executables? If so, perhaps there is a config somewhere file that caches the results? Cheers, Stefano On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 11:15 AM, David L.
