I forget, what is your distro? Debian Stretch I will give the following advice before Kornel does (which he helped me realize the benefit of). When you compile LyX, it might be helpful for you to create a .deb and then install that with dpkg. Then your package manager handles things. If you are interested, we can give very simple instructions. I have the instructions for cmake, I guess. But it's not necessary for me to go to the .deb package. I compile the sub-releases to be up to date for lyx work, and I keep the last version of the preceding release (the 2.2.4 was here for that sake). And for the devel 2.3.x and master branches, I have a procedure to compile in a separate directory which I am accustomed to. Thanks for your help. -- Jean-Pierre

I was surprised to see files being recompiled as if this did not heppen earlier. Does the earlier 'sudo make install-strip' (done when I installed 2.2.4 after 2.3.0 was released) remove all the .o and the .a files ? Sorry for the noise, I must have run 'make clean' after installation of the 2.2.4 executable, as the job was done and lyx-2.2.4 not prone to reinstallation. -- Jean-Pierre
