Ok, before I do that, do I have to upgrade XForms for the new LyX version? Currently, I use xforms-0.89-1, also an rpm. If I do, that is, I remove XForms with "rpm -e xforms" and install the new version (1.0) as described in its documentation, would that mess up my current installation? Would LyX 1.2.1 be able to find and work with the new XForms? > > Assuming the configure is sucessful, and make && make install-strip > work, you will find lyx-1.2.3, relyx-1.2.3 and noweb2lyx-1.2.3 in > /usr/local/bin. > > Now you can either move those files somewhere in you $PATH > or extend $PATH to include /usr/local/bin. > > If you type "lyx " you start the old lyx 1.2.1, "lyx-1.2.3" will > give you lyx-1.2.3.

This way I can keep my old LyX version until I've got the new one the way I like it. Very nice, thanks a lot, Vinay
