Thank you Tommaso and Scott for your help. I followed your instructions and ran all the three command ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-debug and make. Everything ran fine without any errors. But when I try to run lyx using ./src/lyx -dbg find it throws many errors regarding Unknown tag : * and some Bad boolean *. Looking at the errors it seems as if the boolean errors are resulting because of some problem in setting documentclass (article etc), not sure about that. I tried searching the errors on Google but couldn't find anything or understand where is the problem. The same errors are shown on running just ./src/lyx. Similar error alert boxes are shown when I tried to open a file anyway the file doesn't seem to be culprit the errors are general. I've attached the terminal output. Can anyone please suggest me what they mean and how do I solve them. -- Ankit Shah
