1. Transform name -- although I did not request *any* transformation through configure's arguments, both the executables and the manual pages got installed with the prefix ``amd64-portbld-freebsd6.2-''.
I had add the explicit --program-transform-name="" to configure's arguments. This was not a problem with LyX-1.4.4 2. Parallel install -- this is broken, because multiple things race to check for and create the directories (under $PREFIX/share/lyx). Never tried with earlier versions of LyX. 3. Manual pages -- these get installed under PREFIX/share/man, which is wrong. If PREFIX is not /usr (and it should not be, because lyx is not part of the OS, although Linux folks don't seem to care for such things), the right place for man-pages is under PREFIX/man (no "share" in between). I now have to add an explicit --mandir flag to configure. This was not an issue with LyX-1.4.4. 4. The following two lines cause the new LyX to complain: LyX: Unknown tag `\popup_font_encoding' [around line 23 of file ~/.lyx/preferences] LyX: Unknown tag `\screen_font_encoding' [around line 25 of file ~/.lyx/preferences] 5. A large file, which I last saved with LyX-1.4.4, causes LyX-1.5.0 to crash (SIGSEGV) right at the opening. This may be due to my using JPEG images in the file (for the first letter of every chapter). I suppose, this is a bug in the new image-caching feature :( Rebuilding with debugging now to, maybe, provide more information. -mi
