I have encounter the following bug after installing the new version of
Lyx lyx-1.0.0pre6.
Description:
My platform is Linux/Intel Red Hat 5.1
When I bring up Lyx, everything seems OK. However, when I try to do
Options: -> Reconfigure, then Lyx crashes as follows:
It brings in a small window with the message:
I canont change to directory /home/myhome/.lyx
(/home/myhome is my home dir).
The message I get on the window from which I call Lyx is:
--------------
sh: `-c' requires an argument
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'Known bugs'
under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report. Thanks!
Bye.
------------
I also tried to run gdb and here is what I got:
# gdb src/lyx

(gdb) run

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) bt

Incidently, the previous version of Lyx (lyx-0.12.0) that I compiled
on the same platform does not have this problem.
Thank you very much
