Not yet, I'm going to make a proposal here: In the INSTALL.MacOSX, rows 91-96 it reads: 91 Then, cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter: 92 93 ./autogen.sh 94 ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-1.6 --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-O2 --disable-stdlib-debug 95 make 96 make install-strip For innocent people like me it should be made clear that inspite the " --with-version-suffix=-svn" (or whatever "-suffix=nn") the new build LyX application will be installed under the name given in the " --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app " part of the command. So I propose in this part of the INSTALL.MacOSX should be added an elucidating NOTE and then read as the following or similar: - Then, cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter: ./autogen.sh NOTE: in the following "configure"-command you decide, where and with what name the LyX application will later (with the "make install-strip" command) be installed. For example: " ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX.app …" will later install the new build with the name LyX.app in the /Applications folder, thereby overwriting an existing LyX installation (if there is). If you want to keep a given LyX.app installations, you should give the new one another name, e. g. by typing " ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX-nn.app …", where the "-nn" name suffix here is free selectable. For a svn-Version of LyX the suffix "-svn" might be a good choice. ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX-svn.app --with-version-suffix=-svn --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-O2 --disable-stdlib-debug make make install-strip To my question: And, if I want to recover the mistake I made, what to do?

You can do either approach -- it depends on what you want. I prefer to distinguish the two versions of LyX by their file name, so I do the former. I'm not sure what you think is unclear in INSTALL.MacOSX.

LyX 2-dev on MacOSX compiled
Happy to announce that I compiled successfully the LyX 2.0 svn version on MacOSX 10.4 Tiger today. Thanks to the hints from Julio Rojas and Guenter Milde, and the especially the kindly helping of "BH" , all on gmane.editors.lyx.general (ML lyx-users@lists.lyx.org) within the thread "Lyx 2.0". The general way I followed is described in the INSTALL.MacOSX which you get if downloading the source files by svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel After assuring that the PREREQUISITES mentioned therein were already fullfilled on my Mac, I made the following: I cd'd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy (in my case: $ cd /Developer/Applications/lyx-devel/ ), and entered: $ ./autogen.sh after that - in the case of _my_ Mac - I continued with: $ ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-svn --with-qt4-dir=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/ --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-O2 --disable-stdlib-debug $ make $ make install … and had a LyX Version 2.0.0svn on the place of my former LyX 1.6. And it seems to work properly, so far. But: this result, the _overwriting_ of the former LyX 1.6 had not been intended by me. To keep the actual LyX 1.6.5 installation, what should I had typed within the $ ./configure command? $ ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX-svn.app --with-… or $ ./configure --prefix=/Applications>/LyX.app --with-… ?? Wouldn't be bad, if this would be made somewhat clear in INSTALL.MacOSX! And, if I want to recover the mistake I made, what to do? I guess the easyest way would be, to do the procedure of compiling the LyX Version 2.0.0svn again but with a corrected $ ./configure command (which one?) and then install LyX 1.6.5 again, right?
