Because this is output that goes to lyxerr: #if USE_BOOST_FORMAT lyxerr << boost::format(_("LyX: Creating directory %1$s")) % package.user_support() << endl; #else lyxerr << _("LyX: Creating directory ") << package.user_support() << endl; #endif What I always thought was that the problem came from the fact that it was the first output sent to lyxerr. Bennett, what happens if you run "lyx -dbg any"? Do you get any output before the crash? Another thing you could try in src/config.h is to add #define USE_BOOST_FORMAT 0 before the last #endif and recompile. JMarc
