It is used instead of >make<. I think the way to deal with this problem is to use is GNU Stow. It puts "foreign" programs right out of the way of your package manager. This makes it simple to have new and old versions co-exist. I think it is a much better solution than checkinstall which attempts to integrate the new program with your existing package management system, often with the results that you observed. I wrote a short how-to that is on the "Tips for compiling" part of the Wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Compiling. The how-to talks about installing the latest stable version, but the same technique works with the svn branch.

Re: Multicol package - right to left alignment?
Thanks!
It doesn't seem to work, though; when trying to export I get an error
"Undefined control sequence" on the line containing "\end{multicols}"
(although "\begin{multicols}{3}" generates no errors). Another error
"Missing number, treated as zero" also appears for some reason. I tried
writing "\end{multicols}{3}" but it didn't work.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks again,
Barak

I'm trying to use the multicol package in order to print a formula sheet

When using the usual "Two-column document" setting in LyX, the columns
are aligned right to left as required. However, when using multicol, the
columns are aligned left to right.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,

Checkinstall controls the make-process and builds a .deb-package that then can be installed, updated and cleanly removed using the debian package manager. It is used instead of >make<. but one way to have 2.0 and 1.6 > co-existing is to configure 2.0 with > > ./configure --with-version-suffix=SUFFIX > > where SUFFIX is anything you wanted ( "-devel", "-2.0", "-svn"... ). Just tried it, but I got the same result: checkinstall gave the mentioned error and did not build the .deb-file. Lyx2.0 is installed though I did not install it using dpkg. Stephan

compiling from svn using checkinstall (help needed)
I'm using the latest lyx 1.6.x from svn which I build with the following commands on kubuntu 10.04 LTS: /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-1.6.x# ./autogen.sh /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-1.6.x# ./configure --enable-optimization=-O3 /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-1.6.x# checkinstall --default --install=no Checkinstall creates a .deb package that I install with dpkg -i *.deb. Everything works fine as expected. I now wanted to test lyx2.0 alpha4 from svn, so I created a new directory and used the above procedure: /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-devel# ./autogen.sh /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-devel# ./configure --enable-optimization=-O3 /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-devel# checkinstall --default --install=no The building process works, but the .deb package is not build. The following error is shown by checkinstall: dpkg-deb-Fehler: (Original-)Version >>devel<< enthält keine Ziffern dpkg-deb: 1 Fehler in config-Datei To my astonishment lyx2.0 (and not the installed lyx1.6.x) is started when I start lyx although the lyx2.0.deb was not build and not installed using dpkg! My two questions are: -What do I have to do to build the lyx2.0.deb package and -how do I install both versions (1.6.x and lyx2.0) in parallel using dpkg? Stephan

Thhanks, Paul and Julien. Your replies do what I was looking for.

I knew the "increase depth" feature, but I thought it was only for
enumerate/itemize lists. Not only does it what I needed, but it's effect
is also reflected in the LyX window. I love this software!

Paul, I have noticed there is a "Preamble" section in the theorems.inc
file. If it's about \theoremstyle and \newtheoremstyle commands, maybe I
can them there? (I'm thinking of reducing the number of files to be
hacked.) I more or less understand that the contents of this "preamble"
section is used by LyX for its internal TeX job.
