Ok, then I'll do as you suggest. Currently, I'm trying to get LyX to run as /home/angus/Program\ Files/LyX/bin/lyx-1.3.6cvs but it's hanging whilst running ../share/lyx/configure at checking LaTeX configuration... auto If I subsequently kill lyx and restart it, then all is Ok. At that point, my .lyx directory contains: $ ls ~/.lyx-1.3.6cvs/ bind doc images reLyX ui xfonts chklayouts.tex examples kbd scripts wrap_chkconfig.log clipart help layouts templates wrap_chkconfig.ltx Note, no lyxrc.defaults (because I killed LyX whilst reconfiguring?) $ cat wrap_chkconfig.ltx \newcommand\srcdir{/home/angus/Program Files/LyX/share/lyx-1.3.6cvs} \def\haslinuxdoc{yes} \def\hasdocbook{yes} \input{/home/angus/Program Files/LyX/share/lyx-1.3.6cvs/chkconfig.ltx} $ ls -l wrap_chkconfig.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 angus angus 0 Feb 2 11:25 wrap_chkconfig.log Any ideas? -- Angus
