I'm sure it told you other things before that... Could you show the
complete output. In particular, I am interested in the part where it
seaches your library directory.

That's not a surprise if it cannot find the library directory.

So you installed LyX in /usr/X11/ (the default is /usr/local). What
configure flags did you use to do that. It might be too that you had
an earlier version of LyX in /usr/X11/bin/

Huh? That means that chdir() reports an error which description is
"Success"?? That's weird... The problem might be in
PathStack::PathPush(), which says:
// gets current directory and switch to new one
LString CurrentPath = GetCWD();
if ((CurrentPath.empty()) || chdir(Path.c_str())) {
WriteFSAlert(_("Error: Could not change to directory: "),
Path);
return 2;
}
If CurrentPath is empty, I guess one will see what you describe. The
question is: why would CurrentPath be empty? This might explain the
other problem too, maybe.
Ideas someone?
