Just a shot in the dark here, but maybe I have good night vision. The culprit may have been Stuffit Expander. If I let stuffit decompress and expand the tar.gz there was no src folder. However, if I let stuffit decompress and expand the tar.gz.b2 there was an src folder so I assumed everything was fine yesterday but that stuffit expanded source folder gave me the 'make' error. So today suspecting that stuffit was not doing it's job correctly, I decompressed and expanded the tar.gz from the terminal. Everything seemed to be there including the src folder. Using yesterday's qt4.3snapshot, LyX1.5.0beta2 compiled perfectly. A couple of things I've noticed under brief use. Scrolling seems much improved. It is still pretty slow typing in figure floats, although math equations seem faster. I can confirm the strange issue reported that the on-screen fonts when set to Times look like Helvetica or something similar, but when set to Times New Roman they look correct. One strange thing is that the previewed math are much much larger than the text, and much different than the previewed math under qt4.2.3 which look perfectly normal. I don't know if this is a qt issue or an LyX issue. Opening the LyX preferences or the document settings are almost instantaneous whereas under qt4.2.3 I get the colored spinning wheel and have to wait. I think I'm going to compile the latest LyX1.5.0svn and see if the previewed math are the correct size. Maybe something is not quite right in the LyX1.5.0beta2 source? That's the only thing bugging me right now. Any reason why the previewed math would be larger? Thanks, Bob Lounsbury
