Thanks, Jürgen, yes, I could and did. However, I have quite a lot of lyx files created by the 2.1 version and was hoping the lyx2lyx would already contain the conversion 2.1 to 2.0, so that I could run a batch. But, if I understand correctly, lyx2lyx works only in lyx export, not by itself. Another question: I start the 2.0.5-1 version right now as wolfgang/lyx-2.0.5.1$ ./src/lyx & because I ran make all and not yet: make install The reason is, I am afraid that the new lyx would not allow me to start the lyx2.1 anymore. So the question is, whether I can either rename the lyx command used now (for the 2.1svn version) e.g. in lyx21 or the 2.0 version in lyx20, to be able to start both of them separately Wolfgang
