Hi, Here's how to get the latest Lyx running with Slink.
1. Download LyX 1.0.4 source tarball via link on http://www.lyx.org/ 2. Make sure that the following are installed from the Stable (Slink) directories. All sgml components. I included the following: debiandoc-sgml perlsgml psgml sgml-base **Needed** sgml-data **Needed** sgml-tools **Needed** sgmlspm sp TeTeX and LaTeX tetex-base **Needed** tetex-bin **Needed** tetex-nonfree **Desireable** tetex-extra **Desireable** libXpm components xpm-bin xpm4g xpm4g-dev Xforms libforms0.88 libforms-bin libforms-dev 3. Extract the lyx tarball into a directory (I alwasys yse /usr/local/src) cd to the Lyx directory (lyx-1.0.4). 4. Type: ./configure make make install That's it. Lyx is installed Now all you do is add it to your favorite window manager's menu. Good luck and enjoy. Regards, Arne [EMAIL PROTECTED]
