No of course not. That's why I suggest an automagic solution in lib/configure. However, one user may prefer speed over disk footprint whilst another might be more worried about his nearly full hard disk. (And if Norbert is generating 3000+ PPM images then his disk usage is going to be 10s if not 100s of MBytes!). Moreover, the gs I have installed on one machine here does not even have a png driver! So an auto-generated lyxrc.defaults that can be overwritten by a user's preferences file is the right solution IMO. Angus
