Re: Using lyx-1.1.2 for the first time

However, there is a bug in lyx 1.1.2 in this respect. Upgrading to lyx 1.1.4fix1 should fix your problems. Another solution is to set the environment variable LYX_DIR_11x to point to /usr/local/pkg/lyx-1.1.2/share/lyx. The bug is that lyx is not able to find its data dir by looking at [bindir]/../share/lyx (because of the symlink) and the hardcoded fallback directory is not correct in this version. However, now that I think of it, there is code which is supposed to follow symlinks and find the real binary directory... Could you send the output of "lyx -dbg init"? JMarc
