Finally, success. Using the source packages from Debian unstable (LyX 1.5.5-1), I was able to build an 8.04 package for 64-bit with Prevu, an automated backporting utility: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu
A side note, LyX 1.5.5-1 in Debian unstable was released yesterday (May 14), so it has not yet been synced with Intrepid (the previous version of LyX failed to build in Intrepid, but 1.5.5-1 should build successfully). As far as I have seen, the problems have gone. I have qt4.4 from hardy backports (it's not disabled), and no problems. I have built 64-bit packages which I can send to anyone who wants them (send me a private message to daradib on Ubuntu Forums). I don't know how to build 32-bit packages using Prevu on a 64-bit system, so you can make the package yourself by installing prevu (package in repositories), adding deb-src line for Debian Unstable, sudo apt-get update, and running the command prevu lyx. You could also probably just install the Debian unstable (Sid) binary package for LyX (without modification), but I have not tried that. -- lyx 1.5.3.1 crashes as soon as it starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
