In case Richard's instructions didn't work, you can try the one I keep on 
the wiki:


http://wiki.lyx.org/PersonalChr/CompileFromSVN#toc6

This is primarily for building the development code though. Just replace 
the location from which you retrieve the code.

1.6.4 for Ubuntu 64?

[E. Kaplan]

Is there any way of getting Lyx 1.6.4 for Kubuntu 64 bits?  The version 
in that is in the repositories is 1.6.2, I think.  Compiling from 
sources does not appeal to me.

Thanks,
EK

There is a LyX project on lanuchpad.net which builds the code for
Ubuntu - I think automatically, but some has to merge the code I
suppose. There is a URL you can set to get LyX from there instead of
official repo, but I had not train it yet. Someone from LyX developers
would take that over to force new rebuild every time new version
arrives.

An upload of 1.6.4 to Debian unstable will happen soon [1]. After this
package hits unstable you can somehow request a sync from Ubuntu.
But they won't sync everything in every situation and they don't backport
everything for every old release.
So all in all it's quite specific what hits Ubuntu when and where. :)

That of course is up to you, but I myself would recommend that people 
who can do compile from source, and indeed from the svn stable branch. 
Why wait until the next stable release to get the bug fixes?


For those who do want to do this, here's a quick guide.

1. Make sure you have the usual buildtools installed: autotools, make, 
gcc, etc. You will of course also need various development packages, 
such as qt4-devel. Making sure you have all of these is probably the 
most annoying part of the process. Whether you have them all will become 
clear later.


2. Create a directory for the LyX sources, let's say, /home/you/src/lyx/.

3. cd /home/you/src/lyx

4. svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X/ . (note 
the trailing dot)


5. ./autogen.sh

6. ./configure --enable-build-type=rel
   You could also choose devel there, but if you're more a regular 
user, you probably want rel. Note that, by default, this will install 
LyX under /usr/local/.
   If configure fails, it will likely be because you don't have certain 
devel packages installed. LyX will tell you which these are. But note, 
if it says, Can't find Qt4, or something like that, it doesn't mean 
you don't have Qt4 installed. It means you don't have the Qt4 devel 
package installed.


7. make -j2
The two means use two processors. Adjust this depending on your 
system. Generally, advice around here has been that people should use 
all processors. Since the compilation won't actually use them all, due 
to disk activity and the like, the system should still be responsive.
This will take a while the first time. Other times will be a lot 
faster.


8. sudo make install, or su -c 'make install', or whatever is 
appropriate for your system.


Happy compiling,
Richard


9. Now, to make life really easy, set up a cron job to keep the LyX 
sources updated. Then, every once in a while, recompile and reinstall.
