Do you have '.' in your PATH? This is probably the reason why reLyX
is found in the build directory. Besides the fact that having '.' in
the PATH is a bad idea, I am not sure how I could avoid that... I'll
have to thing about it.

I really hope that linux (and to a lesser extent LyX) will help
computing in Africa. It has been predicted for some time, but I find
that it takes a lot of time to take off... It's a pity.

If you think that it could be useful to African users, you are very
welcome to do so. There is some information about that at
