The problem mentioned in this thread is not solved. For Mac users hardcoded version suffixes are no problem. They are -1.6 resp. -2.0, period. For Linux or Windows users the attached patch has no effect. Latest findings regarding python versions and LyX's problematic path_prefix makes me think it's complicated enough to call python once in a correct way. I'm not convinced it's worth to make a second call of a python configure script to be provided by the packager. If it needs to be done for other platforms it can easily be adjusted. If it needs to be a separate script I prefer to test for it and call it directly from the general configure.py. Stephan
