I've tried to compile lyx a few times now. I now know the culprit is ./configure After running it my root device becomes read-only. The first symptom is error messages reporting /dev/null is read-only. When I reboot I can do nothing, because now the entire root file system is read-only.
PLEASE HELP! I don't wan't to re-install my computer a third time. (I'm running suse 8.1)
