I couldn't find references to either of these in bugzilla, and I'm not sure one of them is a bug, so I'll post here.
After making the appropriate gyrations with the environment of the configure command (see the thread "Errors building 1.4.0"), I got the CVS version to build. The configure script still has a bug in that it doesn't set LDFLAGS appropriately on my system even when it finds the qt library. First thing that happened when I tried to load a LyX document is that 1.4.0 complains that it can't find lyx2lyx. It's in the distribution. Shouldn't it have been installed? Second thing that I noticed was that clicking off the scroller in the horizontal scroll bar scrolls by one paragraph, not a page. This is *very* disconcerting! I think it's a bug, but it seems possible someone thought it was a good idea...
