I used --with-version-suffix and got a binary called lyx-1.4cvs
Somehow I also have a ~/.lyx-1.4cvs directory, but it isn't used!
   

If you start lyx from the command line as:
$ lyx-1.4cvs -dbg init
 

Setting debug level to init
Debugging `init' (Program initialisation)
Checking whether LyX is run in place... no
<package>
       binary_dir /usr/local/bin/
       system_support /usr/local/share/lyx/
       build_support
       user_support /home/helgehaf/.lyx/
       locale_dir /usr/local/share/locale/
       document_dir /home/helgehaf
       temp_dir /tmp
       home_dir /home/helgehaf
</package>
It goes for the .lyx directory, not .lyx-1.4cvs
Urg. That shouldn't be happening. What happens if you move this directory
to .lyx-invisible?
Another attempt, after moving the .lyx directory away:
$ lyx-1.4cvs -dbg init
Setting debug level to init

<package>
       binary_dir /usr/local/bin/
       system_support /usr/local/share/lyx/
       build_support
       user_support /home/helgehaf/.lyx/
       locale_dir /usr/local/share/locale/
       document_dir /home/helgehaf
       temp_dir /tmp
       home_dir /home/helgehaf
</package>
Some time after this, a new .lyx is created for me, and lyx comes up with
the "welcome to lyx" document as if I was a new user.
I also notice that it digs up stuff from /usr/local/share/lyx, instead 
of the
directory /usr/local/share/lyx-1.4.0cvs which also exists.

Here is the way I configured lyx, could there be a misunderstanding?
./configure --exec-prefix=/usr/local --program-suffix=-1.4cvs --with-fronten
d=qt --with-gnu-ld --with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3
My binary is dated 28. february, could that be too old?  The checkout
may be a few days older than that, I struggled a bit getting qt to work.
