Kayvan could you check that it does not harm on your installation.Kayvan> How come I don't see this problem? I regularly compile on Cygwin. May be you have a link sh.exe -> bash.exe??? Or you don't have your own layouts???? If I remember right the problem was that I have my own layout files in ~/.lyx/layouts The configure script would with out the patch not find(check) the class files and therefore the layouts where not usable. If you don't have own layouts you will notice no difference. But if you debug it you will see x$OSTYPE is only available on a bash shell and not on a sh shell. So the if will always fail on a sh shell which is not intended ;) Soeren ====================================================================== One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
