Thanks for the help so far. Is it possible to run LyX with the lyxrc.example file without any changes? I'm just trying to get the app going to write german DIN letters with LyX. I hope that there is no need to dig into the details and make any changes to the lyxrc.defaults file... But here is the next problem: Making all in reLyX make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mru/lyx-1.1.6fix1/lib/reLyX' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mru/lyx-1.1.6fix1/lib/reLyX' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mru/lyx-1.1.6fix1/lib' make[2]: *** No rule to make target `textclass.lst', needed by `all-am'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mru/lyx-1.1.6fix1/lib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mru/lyx-1.1.6fix1/lib' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 [mru@pc-mrumpf lyx-1.1.6fix1]$ I searched for a similar named file "textclass" which I could rename to textclass.lst, but I found nothing....
