Interesting. I found that I had to start lyx from the /home/Angus/qt3/lib
directory (so that qt333.dll was found; I could have changed my PATH
variable but only found that out later) as
lyx -sysdir /home/Angus/lyx-13x/lib \
-userdir /home/Angus/lyx-13x/build-qt/lib
so that chkconfig.ltx and textclass.lst could be found. I guess that this
reinforces your points above.
