A lot of people have been saying to run make install, but that is not a good solution IMHO. This would cause problems later on when the LyX package is updated and one wishes to install that package. If LyX is not removed via apt, conflicts will emerge. There are really only two reasonable temporary solutions.
1) ./configure and make (no sudo make install) and run LyX from the directory that has been created 2) build/install an updated package Solution 2 is the better one, as it uses the excellent Ubuntu/Debian package management in place, but it does take a bit more effort. It is not possible to directly install the Debian unstable (Sid) binary package for LyX without modification, because of a missing dependency: libboost-filesystem1.34.1. The way to do this is to use an automatic backporting utility called Prevu, which will modify the package's dependencies for Ubuntu. Run the following commands in Terminal (Applications->Terminal) one at a time. sudo -s apt-get install prevu prevu-init echo "deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update prevu-update exit prevu lyx The last step will take a while depending on the speed of your computer as LyX is compiled. When it is done, run Update Manager (System -> Administration -> Update Manager) and update LyX. Alternatively I can give you the LyX packages I built with Prevu, but I have a 64-bit system and consequently have only 64-bit packages (I do not know how to build 32-bit packages with Prevu on a 64-bit system if that is possible). -- 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 Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
