In my case I have an alias to lyx that overrides my 1.2.1 install so it's easy to realias it. But for testing purposes, I've run it from a link in the CVS build dir (and to encourage it getting into CVS =) ) > > You do seem to assume that I cd to the lyd directory tree before running > > the script.

Anyway, your > use is also legitimate and using dirname above should solve that problem. OK well then it's going into 1.4 alongside the other choices already there.. Maybe it can be 1st choice, with the others as last resort for more weird cases. > Cheers, > Rob. > > PS: wonder if someone else has noticed the charm of your script!?! or our script =) Doubt it - nobody else seems to be replying. I suppose they will cotton on when the next segfault appears and somebody has to use it in a hurry =) One other thing - an earlier version included the output of lyx --version in the trace, which provided a lot of useful info. Shouldn't it go back? Esp. now that zipping is included. With the asynchronous lyx and gdb execution, we get lots of info as gdb looks through your libraries.. I suppose that's helpful too. The more we cram into the trace the better, since you only ever email a file into the list when something nasty is happening. The chances are that many users don't even know what version of GCC they have =) Have fun, Darren
