Hi.. I had reported a problem earlier where lyx didn't start up... I emailed the debian-powerpc list and was asked to check using ldd if lyx was using the correct qt library when it started.. turns out it wasn't..
I compiled qt 3.0.7 in /usr/local/qt and configure lyx using the --with-qt-dir=/usr/local/qt option but the program uses the libqt.so.3 in /usr/lib when it starts up.. I tried configure with --with-extra-lib option but that didn't help either.. is this the way it's supposed to behave? I finally had to copy the libqt.so.3 file from /usr/local/qt to /usr/lib and it all worked! nirmal
