Right. But LyX config didn't do that. It bailed out because it couldn't find moc or moc2 despite the fact that my environment variables told it nicely that it's called moc3-mt. > > The ports infrastructure > > is a distribution-specific feature, and no use whatsoever to us > generally. Right again. Nor did it affect LyX config in any way. I didn't want to argue. I just want the LyX configure to do a better job. If you can make it find the right Qt with qt-config or whatever, everything is fine and dandy. However, if you can't (which is currently the case) then I think this "distribution feature" can be really helpful under condition that configure really respects environment variables. It does respect LIBS, I do not see any reason not to respect MOC or UIC. Just my 2 cents. Best regards, -- Zvezdan Petkovic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.cs.wm.edu/~zvezdan/
