Well, the latest *supported* version is 1.6.2. But I am pretty sure
the *latest* version is:
 http://gmatht.homelinux.net/xp/pub/lyx_1.6.x.30798-1_amd64.deb

Note that installing files from third party websites has the same
problems as windows, is generally discouraged:
   http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg61342.html

However, it works here. It installs lyx to /usr/local rather than /usr
so you could still run your old lyx with
   Alt-F2 /usr/bin/lyx

Why do specifically want the latest version?


Latest Lyx for Kubuntu 64 bits

2009-07-26 Thread E.Kaplan
Can anyone tell me what is the latest Lyx version that is available for 
Kubuntu 64 bits?  It seems that the repositories only have 1.6.2, and 
the only 1.6.3 version I found was meant for Karmic (9.10) which is not 
out yet.


Thanks,
