Especially if they are present in 1.3.0cvs, too: Yes.

Once upon a time there was a rule:
Never configure and compile software as root!
After a succesful build you should become root with su (without hyphen!)
and do a make install, if you tested this piece of software and trust

Yes, it is ugly. Note that kudos for spotting this should go to

On most Linux-distros you won't be able to properly boot since
the root filesystem ist usually mounted read-only. Remounting
it as read-write will fail when /dev/null is not present (at least in SuSE).
So start you system in single user mode, log in as root on the console,
do a 'mount -o remount /
For anyone who needs to recover, On my RedHat 8.0 machine /dev/null is a
character device with major mode 1, minor mode 3 and mode a+rw - use mknod
to make a new one. On Solaris, it's a soft link to
/devices/pseudo/mm@0:null - use ln to recreate.

There is a very nasty bug in LyX 1.2.2 configure script: if you
configure as root and an error occurs during the configure step
(e.g. xforms not found), the the script will delete the /dev/null
device. This undoubtly leads to very bad effect, since /dev/null is a
very basic device in any unix syst
