Yes, those instructions were not actually meant for compiling a development version. You should have read http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseSVN and in particular http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseSVN#toc6 > Furthermore, under Vista you must execute > autogen.sh from a shell that is "Run as Administrator."

I can trigger a failure (even if not exactly as yours) as follows: $ mkdir /tmp/notgood $ chmod 0 /tmp/notgood $ env TMPDIR=/tmp/notgood ./autogen.sh Using automake (GNU automake) 1.10.1 Using autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.63 Building macros... autom4te-2.63: cannot create /tmp/notgood/am4t7070.484: Permission denied at /usr/bin/autom4te-2.63 line 958 aclocal-1.10: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 Building config header template... autoheader not found -- aborting So, make sure that TMPDIR is not set (it may be imported from your native Windows environment) and that the permissions on /tmp are correct. The permissions on /tmp should be as follows: $ ls -ld /tmp drwxrwxrwt+ 6 root None 20480 May 20 12:53 /tmp If in the first column you don't see "drwxrwxrwt+", try issuing: $ chmod 1777 /tmp and see whether this solves the problem (remember to also unset TMPDIR if it is already set). > I'd like to renew my bug report regarding server-goto-file-row.

If it works in 1.6.1 it should also work in later versions (and indeed it does for me). Some questions: 1) Are you using the lyxpipe or the lyxsocket for communicating with lyx? 2) Are you running more instances of the same lyx version? 3) Are you sure that source specials are activated? 4) Version 1.6.1 (where inverse DVI search works) has been compiled by you or are you using a package? In case 2), inverse DVI search only works for the first lyx instance but not for the others (note that if you open a new window from a lyx instance, it does not count as a new instance and inverse DVI search works in this case). -- Enrico
