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?
